Post by: *tell* on 24 June 2009, 08:54
hello help needed please
my house got a supercharged vr6 about 8 months ago and the steering
is very light as in you can be parked and turn full lock with you finger.
now i was watching "THE GARAGE"  :lipsrsealed: and they said you could do
this to some steering racks?
also is it easy to change the rack in a mk2 vr?
thanks tell

They can be very hard work on the road.

'light' is not the same as 'quick'
sounds liek there is a fault or the wheel alignment needs looking at

Good point, I just got carried away with idea of a quick rack...

Sounds obvious but are the tyre pressures correct?

Downer, I had no vw for a month as result of a knackered rack.
Chin up though.
