WTB: koyo steering rack

**$teady$upreme** · 05-31-2008 12:40 PM

Have a 99.5 A4 1.8T 5sp quattro, and it needs a steering rack. I prefer the Koyo one instead of the ZF one, moreover my last 6 digits of my vin# is 242707.

Let me know if you guys have any available, thank you very much in advance~

Why the preference for Koyo? My dealership told me the Koyos are less reliable than the ZF ones... Not to mention, I don't think they are interchangeable hence the whole "brand matters" when you are ordering one... Just a heads up! Tried to install a ZF one where a Koyo was supposed to be and it didn't line up where it needed... Mainly at the steering input...

they are not interchangeable. get under your car and check what you have. I have koyo...i think i can sell out of my sedan.

Alright, i will for sure hoist it up and take a look. But i had spoken with dealership before as well, and they said ZF is the one which prowns to leak.
