nothing has made as significant of a difference as the E46 ZHP rack swap. The biggest night and day difference of any part I've replaced on the whole car.
Pros: significant difference, night and day improvement
Vehicle:
BMW
I went with the E46 ZHP rack (second fastest) as my very first "quality of life" upgrade and it dramatically improved the car.
Pros: dramatically improved steering
Vehicle:
BMW
Mazda 3 Stick shift are very fun to drive. They have the same steering rack out of the Miata with added practicality.

Feels like my CX90 steering rack has a bunch of these in it when I turn the wheel.

Mine was the same thing. Had the recall for my 2024 civic. Got it fixed for free at the dealer.
Pros: fixed for free
Cons: sticky steering issue
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Sometimes the Dorman OE solutions stuff is better than oem. Everything is a dice roll these days. I’m replacing a steering rack on my own car today that didn’t even make it 1800 miles before puking its guts out.
Pros: better than oem
Cons: didn’t make it 1800 miles
Mileage: 1800 km
Had mine replaced, took about a week. Loaded up the miles on an even nicer loaner, so I wasn’t too bothered…other than the unsafe feeling around corners at speed.
Cons: unsafe feeling around corners
I can tell you the recall done on the steering rack is a complete joke. It doesn’t fix anything. We’re supposed to push a little bit of grease back into the plastic gear and install a new little cap, spring and bolt. It just so Mazda can say “they tried” while spending the least possible money.
Cons: recall is a joke, doesn't fix anything, cheap fix
