    We need to remove and replace the steering rack. Is it possible to remove it without dropping the subframe? Will it slide out the side?
    Posted in mk3 but it’s a mk2 rack on a mk3 subframe in a mk2 car (not widetrack).

    Yeah, drop the subframe, not enough space between the subframe and the chassis to get it out sadly

    Yes, I’ve seen a couple of threads that say you can slide it out but I don’t have a enough room between the car and the wall. Also the PAS rack is taller and won’t fit through the gap :(
