I am ordering a new rack an pinion off ebay/someother online resource. WAY more complicated that I hoped. Turns out there are two type of vintage for this power steering. Mine starts with N071.....does anyone know what rack and pinion I should be getting. Also how do I know if I have the sport edition? I bought the car used and it had no manual...so confused and frustrated

You have the Sport Suspension with CATS if there are wires coming out of the top of each suspension strut. Look at the front struts in the engine compartment and see if there are small wires coming out of the top of the struts connected to the wiring loom.
X200s with Sport Suspension typically also have 17-inch wheels.

So we must assume your VIN is N407102?
The listing for the Cardone unit is for a 2003 S-Type. Is you car a 2003 or a 2004? If so, it may fit, but this is an aftermarket company so it's really anyone's guess.
We are all making an effort to help you find the correct part, but it's up to the shop doing the work to make sure you have the proper part so the car steers correctly.

I am responsible for buying the part in this case....the shop isnt .... Additionally I'm not sure they would have any additional insight as they are working with the notion that the rack/pinion has to match my vintage. They can get the part but it would be 800 bucks ..or at the least much more than would be appropriate... So the onus is on me to make sure I order the right part

Actually it didn't and I want to literally blow my head off. I ordered the above part and it turns out that it doesn't fit. The steering column doesnt match up.
So I don't have ajob and have been basically confined to my fathers apartment during the day....now I have to figure this out....HOW the hell doesn't this thing fit.
The mechanic has to take it off the lift ....Im so out of my mind with anger and depression I can't even begin to articulate it
