Steering rack OEM Volkswagen or OEM Honda

OEM Volkswagen Steering rack

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.

Pros: sharp and responsive
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Yes I installed it a good 6 months ago. The rack did reduce lock to lock. I do enjoy the difference, but I could live with the stock rack.

Pros: reduced lock to lock
Cons: not an overwhelming difference

OEM Honda Steering rack

It started happening in my wife's '22 Sport at about 4000 miles, then we didn't notice it for a while, then I drove it on the highway this week and noticed it again. It's drivable, and using LKAS actually helps make it not as noticeable, but it shouldn't be happening

Cons: sticky steering, shouldn't be happening

I will say, as an owner for a 2022 Civic Sport, my steering has been feeling a hair sticky while driving straight and if i touch the wheel it feels like it was stuck in that middle position. Not sure if I am showing early symptoms. I am at 4800 miles and it started around 3000. Will be taking it to the dealership soon but not sure if they will even tell what I'm talking about.

Cons: sticky steering, stuck in middle

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.

Cons: loud popping when turning

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.

Cons: bad steering rack
