I never did find the plate on my wagon.
I just did the rack in my car. I read somwhere that you can tell the difference quite easily IF it is a factory rack. Look at the ends of the bellows where the tie rod comes through. If it necks down to the size of the tie rod it is a cam rack. if it is flat and about an 1-1/4" in diameter it is a ZF rack. It was accurate on mine but my rebuilt ZF came with the other bellows so unless it is factory don't count on it. I also noticed that there is a ZF inside a circle molded into the casting near where the steering linkage connects, but for the life of me I can't remember if it is down where you can see it or up when installed.
