I've got play in my steering - up down movement & side to side when turning wheel. A mechanic has taken a look and thinks i need a new rack (only replaced last year with GSF part) and a bush in the column is worn.

Where is the cheapest place to get a genuine vag rack? How easy is it to put a new column in/replace bush??

Anyone else had this problem?

if you look inside the engine bay there is a rubber cover which covers the steering column, pull it back and underneath is a universal joint, if there is any movement in it then that could be your clunk, it is easily removed but make sure you try any movement whilst on the car as when you take it off the car it is almost impossible to find wear! Hope this helps

Update: Replaced universal joint in engine bay and new top mount bearing (part of ignition lock mech) feels like a brand new car again.

My tip :- check these before ordering a new rack!! I would of saved myself £££'s if i had done!!!!!
