VW Golf IV / Bora / New Beetle / Audi A3 8L / Seat Leon Steering Rack 1J1422062D

Product overview

This new steering rack, also called a steering gear, is referenced to OE number 1J1 422 062 D and suits the Volkswagen Golf IV generation and related Audi and Seat models. It replaces a rack that is leaking, has excessive play or is producing knocking or binding through the steering wheel.

A worn rack can make the car feel vague on the open road, cause wheel shimmy or leave power steering fluid on the driveway. Fitting a new unit restores precise, predictable steering, which is essential for safe driving.

Vehicle compatibility

Listing attributes list the Audi A3 (8L1), Seat Toledo II and Leon (1M1), and Volkswagen Golf IV, Golf IV Variant and Cabriolet, Bora and Bora Variant, and New Beetle and Convertible, broadly 1996 to 2010. The 200-row fitment table also includes later models such as Golf V and Octavia II, which use different racks. Confirm by OE number or VIN before ordering.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Steering racks are safety-critical and must be fitted by a qualified technician. Transfer or renew tie rod ends as required, refill and bleed the power steering system with the correct fluid, centre the steering and complete a full wheel alignment before returning the vehicle to the road.

Fitment checks before ordering

Golf IV-era racks are hydraulic, yet the listing option shows electrical power, so please confirm the type. Left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive racks are different; Australian and NZ vehicles require a right-hand-drive rack. Check the part number on your existing rack and verify by VIN before purchase.

Package inclusions

1 x steering rack. Tie rod ends, boots, seals and mounting hardware are included only if pictured or stated; please confirm before ordering.
