When I swapped the E36 rack into my chromie I just bolted the job lot up complete with the E36 inner & outer tie rods.
No dramas with fitting etc.
I've heard a few mention that they fitted the E30 inner & outer tie rods to the E36 rack. Is this actually necessary?
Cheers
Lee

whats the benefit of this? and is it a straight swap?
my rack may need replacing as i'm getting some strange noises from the steering

I used New E30 ones as the ones that came attached to the E36 rack were of unknown age/condition
