Porsche27 2 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hi all, I need to fit another steering rack to my 1995 Golf VR6. I hear that there were two types fitted. (ZF & TRW) As far as I'm aware, all VR6 Golfs had the ZF type fitted. (How can I tell which is fitted to mine without removing it from the car?) Also, if I replace the whole rack including tie rods does it matter which is currently fitted? Is the fitment to the sub frame and steering column the same between the two types? Thanks for your help, Kevin. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 One of them is smooth bodied, one of them has like a waffle pattern on it, yours should be the smooth body IIRC, mine is. Link to post Share on other sites
Porsche27 2 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks for that Lukey, what about the interchangability? Can you fit either rack as long as you use the correct track rod ends? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think that's the parts aren't too interchangeable, each rack has its own specific numbers, but I've never directly compared. Link to post Share on other sites
