shawy 3 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 after driving the car home the only thing the car seemed to lack was positive steering seemed slow and sluggish , is there any form of a quick steering rack for a golf 4 or any mods to sharpen it up . car is a vr6 4 motion 2002 ta Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have a MK 4, I replaced the rack and was told the V6 has a different rack to other models and is a quick rack.. Never driven any other MK 4 so not 100% sure if this is true but mine seems quick enough compared to my other cars. Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 4 Motion is the same as all other mk4's (correct me if I'm wrong).... R32 is different and is quicker rack than rest of range plus uses different wishbones. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yep R32 is a quick rack as Gethin says Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think this is what I was supplied with then. I had to replace the track rod ends as the track rods on the new rack were much thicker than on the rack I took off. Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah that sounds like an R32 one Jamie Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelonit 119 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah that sounds like an R32 one Jamie An upgrade I was unaware of!! It works well and has a much heavier feel to it. Had no problem fitting it other than the rod ends needed replacing too. Link to post Share on other sites
