steering is bad!!!

[Addo]

oe part number is 6K2422061DX £355.03 + VAT

worth noting it's the same as MK2 models with sports runnig gear, ie cupra, so also another route to look down

oem parts have just told me that part number is coming up as an exchange, so the dealer will need your old rack in part ex or charge you a surcharge. so he couldn't get me a price.

drop the X on the end and that's the part no for a brand new unit

Hi ive removed the steering rack from my ibiza before really easy to do, well if you have it on a 2 poster ramp that is and a compressor.

Remove the lower steering column cowling at the bottom of the steering column inside the car and remove the two 10mm bolts and the support bracket and pull the column upwards to remove the column from the rack.

remove bothe front wheels.

remove track rod end nuts from the hub

dont have to remove the full engine bed just lower it,but will be difficult if you dont hav a hydraulic jack to lift it back in n line it.

remove the rear bed bolts and just loosen the front one, one on either side and the bed should swing downwards at the back. Theres a think 2 bolts holding the rack to the bed (bolt up and thru then a nut)

the rack should be pretty free now, might be a couple of clips holdin the pipes to the rack tht need to come off and then undo the two unions where the pipes go in.

Thats a quick guide on how to do if sorry if ive missed anything was a while ago when i did mine, however on a ramp is much easier and with a compressor as the bed bolts can be very tight also after ull need to do the tracking aswell which i did by lazer at work so was easy. but i cud imagine tht the labour costs would be quite high. Took me bout 1 - 1/2 to do mine. then tracking.

hope this is any help but would advise taking to a garage to get done tho.

Thanks, you never said why you replaced though? was yours handling as bad as described in this thread and did replacing indeed 100% cure it?

ps-bump for Addo again
