Okay, I've read the howto on the steering rack bushes but it's for the V8 Actaully most how-to's around the net are for the V8's.

I'd just like to know if changing steering bushes on the TT is the same as the V8? And is it a bitch to do? I'd like to say WOOOOOWWW too

Should be the same for both. Same car, different engine.

took me 20 mins to change mine out, mind you this is on a hoist.

the main body bush is easy, just unbolt the clamp, slide the old bush out, new bush in and bolt up again.

The 2 smaller bushes slightly harder, these run a metal sleeve down the centre. What i did was get a screw driver in them, and lever side to side, this slowly pulled the bush out of the lower and upper bush. Then just fit the new superpro bushes, slide the metal sleeves in and bolted it up :-)

I didnt say WOOOOOOOOW, as my old ones were in good nick still, but the steering is definately more responsive :-)

Sweet thanks fellas, I'll order some bushes on Monday.

Does the rack need to be dropped to install the bushes?

Hopefully mine are real clapped out so I can say WOOOOOOWW haha

Sweet, ordered some just then. Do these need to be torqued up to anything specific or do you just crank it?
