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
