Title: EASY STEERING - POWER OR NOT?
Post by: yzzidog on 30 October 2006, 15:59: :smiley:
Seen an auction (just finished) on Ebay for a US-spec cabbie with power steering and other dribbleables.
Now, main reason my wife won't drive a Golf cabbie is because she finds the steering tough (and it can be, although that makes Golfs infinitely chuckable, no?) - anyway (sorry about Rabbiting on) but I'd like the missus to have a Golf: does anyone out there know of a power rack for the Mk1 cabbie? Seen it in action? Easy fit or nightmare? And reliable or fragile??

Does it have to be a mk1 for the wife ? You could talk her round to a mk3 cab maybe.
