Does any know if the power steering rack on a VR is servicable?

Cheers

Why? so you can spend a couple of hours taking it off and a couple more hours putting it back in to discover that the one you've bought is scrap?

I'll recon your existing rack at a good price (as long as it is servicable...)- PM me for details

I'll email you tomorrow filthy.

Wouldn't this be the best bet? it listed on GSF

43033D POWER STEERING RACK-GEN  G3 GTi/16v/VR6  210.00 

I checked with VW and they wanted £494+vat.

GSF don't seem bad ?

Oh and how longs it going to take to do the rear bushes?
