Owner reviews for steering rack

Just swapped an r32 rack into my GLI. so awesome, totally notice a difference right away.

I have a r32 rack in my 2000 NB. I will never ever drive a mk4 without one. Yes it makes all the difference in the world.

I've had the R32 rack for a few years and love it. Granted I did a full blown hybrid suspension swap when it was installed but I think it feels great. Overall turn-in response is sharp and responsive, my mk4 feels almost mk2 go-kart like.

I gotta say that I like the feel of the rack more now than I ever have.

I have had a few cars and will tell you that i have seen trw in 8v and 16v cars, it could be based on produciton time and date, they are not interchangable, the steering shaft connects differently on the racks

In my experience (and granted it was several years ago now), those Meyle Racks are complete garbage. The first one had the gear that is turned by the end of the u-joint start to pit and deform because it was too soft and machined poorly. It only took a couple thousand miles before it was grinding and had a lot of play in it.

Got my steering rack replaced two months ago and taking my car back to the dealer on Monday due to the same noise issue that started to happen week after repair.

Same shit happened to my rattlecan rebuild from cardone on my miata. At the end of a day of autocross it was leaking from both sides of the rack as well as both ends of the input shaft. What a fucking waste of money.

VW is repurchasing my 2017 Alltrack after it spent 45 days at the dealer for repairs in the first 11 months I owned it. Its had a multitude of creaking/squeaking suspension parts - strut mount bearing, end links replaced. The last straw for me was a loud popping when turning the wheel which required an entire new steering rack.

YES my car does this also, it started at about 12,500 miles. My car is a 2017 4-motion S sportwagen, mine is so bad that you can duplicate it when the car is stopped or when it is driving.
