Ways of reducing the weight of our cars
fuscobal:
Old steering rack (2006) > 13.4Kg
New steering rack (2011) > 12.2Kg
Just replaced the old worn steering rack with the new gen3 one wich is also 1.2Kg lighter as it seems :smiley:
the bruce:
Any issues with the change ??
Is it bolt directly to the subframe (I guess)?
Tfsi_Mike:
quite a bit of movement in my steering wheel. Have some suspect handling atm. If tyres, alignment and check of ball joints/top mounts/bushes etc doesnt fix it new rack may be another kilo lost :) Depending which one I have on currently
