i bought a brand new steering rack , so my question is it centered 100% when its new? cos i dont want to broke the airbag clock.

Ahmad sorry I do not have the answer for your question, but would you mind sharing the cost of a new rack?

Is it an ADU or ABY rack? I'm after one for the sake of the 2.5 turning radius as apposed the 7A 3.5 turning radius.

Thanks buddy

i got it for my a4 , i kissed ***** to get it for 500$ brand new and not reconditioned. , give me part number and ill check if they have one for your and we can get it much cheaper cos audi 80/90 and coupe get high discounts in parts. if it was available in stock u will be very lucky. something like 250$ will be good for u?

they offered me two racks for a4 for 890 usd but what will i do with the second one? so i get one for 500 with vat.

cheers

Very cool of you.

Here is the info for the ABY that Henka gave to me a while ago. Thanks Henrik

ZF. The S2 ABY came with 2.65 turns lock to lock - stroke is 168mm. Same rack was also found in RS2.

I allways centralise new racks just to be sure and then remove the track rod ends and count the number of turns each end is on by then add together and divide by two and refit then adjust each side equally when setting the track.Does that make sence?

895 422 065 c , for the aby and the adu . i think some body confirm it.

ill check for this part number if they have some lieng arround ill inform u.

ill try this way , tomorow ill take a look to see if it have some secure pin or something otherwise ill make it your way. i didnt look at enaugh today cos my pocket was hurting me.

[kninio]

the part number i got is the right one for aby and adu , ill check it for u , and ill check if i can find one used near me i remember one parted an s2 coupe but i dont remember if it was aby or 3b , ill take a look at them and see too..

does the V6 one fit? or it have difference ratio?

[rs2coupe]

I am not quite sure of the V6 but safer bet to stick with ABY/ADU.

Thanks Ahmad
