This right-hand-drive manual steering rack is a high-quality replacement for a wide range of early water-cooled Volkswagen models, including the Golf Mk1 (1975–1983), Caddy Mk1 (1983–1992) and Scirocco (1977–1992). Designed for vehicles without power steering, it restores the precise, mechanical steering feel that made these lightweight classics so responsive and enjoyable to drive.
Engineered to OE specifications, this rack ensures smooth travel from lock to lock, stable on-centre tracking, and accurate steering geometry. Worn original racks often develop free play, stiffness, internal wear, or leaks around the input shaft—symptoms that quickly degrade handling. Replacing the rack restores direct steering and predictable road feedback, essential for both everyday driving and performance-focused builds.
This rack is compatible with all Mk1-platform vehicles except the Mk1 Cabriolet with the 1.3 engine, which uses a different steering assembly. It fits directly to the factory mounting points and connects to standard Mk1 track rods and steering column joints without modification.
Ideal for:
Standard restoration projects
Upgrading worn or sloppy steering
MOT repairs
Performance builds maintaining manual steering feel
