Hi,

Has anybody attempted to change a steering rack on a MKII? Is it a tough job? Anything which is tricky/tough? Any tips? How long should it take etc etc?

Is there a "how-to" anywhere that may help me?

Thanks

Its not difficult.
Jack up,axle stands,wheels off,undo steering arms,undertray off,undo steering column from frunk,loosen 4 bolts holding rack,undo power steering hoses (get a bowl ready for fluid).

Then reverse fit.
Make sure that you get your steering wheel and rack centalised (easier with 2 people).

think thats all.

Also possible to preload the rack,something like 36lbs and then 12 degrees back,will try to find a link. Found it http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=147691&highlight=
