Re: 4KQ steering rack - source?
Hi,
I just saw your post about the steering rack. I know little to nothing
about the audi steering system, but I wouldn't imagine it to be too
dissimilar to my Sciroocos. I had the same problem, was told by my local
mechanic the rack was bad. I decided to perform a quick examination myself,
and I found the nuts holding the steering rack had loosened enough to let
the rack slide around. After a quick replacment of the rubber bushings the
steering was as good as new. Also I think most steering racks have an
adjustment screw to compensate for some wear. Have someone turn the wheel
while you look at your rack, if it moves, try replacing the bushings. And
check for the adjustment screw. Good luck.
