Owner reviews for steering rack

And if you lift up the rubber boot thats over the input shaft to the rack theres a ZF stamp.

If I remember correctly, that hex is only a "cover". The actual adjuster lies beneath. ZF racks are all female torx.

1991 VW Corrado G60 to VR6 swap Front Cross member (motor mount half): PASSAT VR6 -Front Cross member (radiator half): Corrado G60 -K-Frame: Mk3 -Control Arms: G60 -Struts/Springs: G60 -Steering Rack: G60 TRW

if you have a 98 VR6, i know for a fact you would be needing a ZF type. The ZF type can be identified by the steering racks housing body. ZF has a waffle pattern and is made out of Aluminum.

I swapped in a rebuilt TRW rack into a buddy's 93 slc.. he's been complaining of a \"loose\" feeling at highway speeds.

Steering rack on a Volvo V70 (and I expect most P80/P2 chassis), the rack doubles as an engine mount. So you've got to rock the engine forward to pull the rack out. Then you find out that the refurbished rack had the mount part cut off, and the resulting engine shake is no worse than it was prior to rack replacement, so why was that included in the first place?

It was about 8 or nine years ago when I put a brand new Meyle rack on my Cabriolet after the replacement Maval power rack failed 1 month out of warranty. The new Meyle rack was fine for about 6 months, but when I went to get the car aligned, the tech brought me out to show me that the inner tie rod was bad. It wasn't the tie rod but the actual toothed rack moving inside of the tube. I tried adjusting with the threaded adjuster on the back to take out any slop but that only made it so tight I could hardly turn the steering wheel. It appears to have worn internally between the pinion and the toothed rack rod thing. That's pretty pathetic for a new steering rack to essentially fail within a few months of gentle commuting duty.

Also, steer clear of those Meyle POS aftermarket racks. Absolute 100% pure garbage.

Leaking after OEM rebuild kit. On a g60 Passat Syncro, with TRW steering rack, with the VAG rebuild kit, the leaking continues.

Major issue for me was the electric steering rack. It started creaking and making all kinds of noise.
