[V8] Steering Rack Rant

[Dag Bøsterud]

You have to pull the transmission from the car. Then it's very easy to 
access the steering rack.
...to pull the tranny on the other hand is a nightmare..

Rant of the day  (1993 Audi V8 4.2 with servotronic

Getting a steering rack of these cars is a night mare …. It like giving 
birth feet first!!!
I tell you I’ve done a lot of stuff on cars from pulling engines to doing 
the timing belt on the 4.2 , but this was just plane nasty …. What did Audi 
do, build the car around the steering rack !!!! The real problem wasn’t 
undoing all the nuts, bolts, lines, it was to jimmying the fricken thing out 
of the car through the little hole in the Passenger wheel well. I had to 
undo the top of the shock tower and move it over a few inches. I think that 
when I go to put the rack back in I’m going to take the whole strut out …. I 
really think that is the trick.


Ahh I feel better now that I’ve vented   J superdave
