Steering rack type?

I need to replace the tie rods in my 89 740Ti sedan. The parts web site lists 2 types of steering rack. The sticker on my car is missing so I can't
just read the sticker to find out what rack I have. Is there a visual difference that I can look for?
 
From FCPgroton.com:

[quote:e7390664b6]Another Way to identify the brand of rack is to look at the rack boot end where it clamps around the tie rod. If the boot clamps around the shaft of the tie rod and has a hole the size of a dime, then you have a CAM rack. If the boot clamps around a rubber grommet that is on the tie rod, then you have a ZF rack. The rubber grommet is about 1" in diameter.[/quote:e7390664b6]
