No two steering racks are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Crafter comes in two main generations: the first generation ran from 2006 to 2017, and the second generation ran from 2017 onwards. Steering racks within each generation are your starting point for compatibility, but the GVW/payload rating of your van also affects which rack was fitted, so always check your vehicle plate for the gross vehicle weight before approaching a breaker.
A 2015 Crafter is first generation (2006–2017) and a 2018 Crafter is second generation (2017–present), and these are fundamentally different vehicles built on different platforms, so a rack from the first generation will not cross over to the second. Stick to the correct generation when sourcing your part from a breaker.
Both years sit within the first generation (2006–2017), so they are broadly in the same family, which is a good starting point. However, GVW rating differences across the range mean payload variants could have different rack specifications, so confirm the gross vehicle weight on your plate with the breaker before buying.
Trim level does not affect steering rack fitment on the Crafter — the rack is determined by generation and GVW rating, not whether your van is a Startline, Trendline, or Comfortline. You may find cosmetic differences between used parts sourced from different trim vehicles, but these have no bearing on whether the rack will fit and function correctly.
Engine size is less of a primary concern for steering rack fitment on the Crafter compared to generation and GVW rating, but it is worth mentioning to the breaker as heavier or higher-powered variants could in some cases carry different running gear. Always give the breaker your full registration number so they can cross-reference the exact specification of your van.
Payload and GVW rating genuinely matter for running gear on vans like the Crafter, and a rack from a lighter or heavier-rated variant may not be the correct specification for your vehicle. Check the plate inside your driver's door for the gross vehicle weight figure and pass this to the breaker alongside your registration to help them identify the right rack.
