What steering rack do I have? 700 85

Ok I found a place to buy inner tie rods at. But there are two diff kinds of tie rods. The guy said I have a zf rack or a cam rack? How can I find out which one I have?

As I recall (from when ordering tie rod ends from the dealer) the stiker on the post of the back door (I think driver side, but could be passenger side) lists the type of steering you have.

The wheel end of the rubber boot on a ZF rack ends in a 1 1/2" rubber disc around the tie rod. The boot is usually cable tied to the disc.

A cam rack has the rubber boot necked down to s 1/2" opening through which the rod goes. Also "cable tied" or clamped.

This is all shown nicely in the RPR catalog.
