Hello fellow members,

As above, i am waiting on a Ph1 2.4 turns Xsara VTS steering rack.
I have read about how much of a difference this makes on the 6. But what is actually done when refurbishing one of these steering racks except for changing the track rod ends and cleaning them??
Thanks in advance for any advice Thumbs up

Cheers

Just noticed i placed this in the transmission part instead of suspension. Is it possible for an Admin to transfer it to the right section? Sorry

Track rods need changing tooWink different length than a Gti6Yes

Also PAS ram needs to be the one off the Gti6 rack,as this is what limits your right hand lock to stop wheel to gearbox contact.

If your talking about a DIY refurb changing boot/track rods and TRE's is about it.
If your taking it to a company that refurbs racks they will strip it down and check the internals for wear/tearThumbs up

if you are capable then you can change the rack bushes and bearings, check the pinion etc.
