Volkswagen Passat / Santana / Audi A4 / A6 Steering Rack 4B1422052 8D1422052

Product overview

A replacement steering rack (rack and pinion steering gear) referenced to a range of Volkswagen and Audi OE numbers, including 4B1422052, 3B1422052D, 8D1422052, 377422065A/C/D, 5X0422065 / 5X0422065A, 4B1422052X and 4B1422065G. The listing names the VW Passat, Santana and Audi A4 and A6. Signs of a worn rack include fluid leaks, a knock through the wheel, wandering on the road and uneven tyre wear.

Vehicle compatibility

The listing attributes name the VW Passat, Santana and Audi A4 and A6. The six-row fitment table, however, lists South American models: the VW Parati I (1982–1995), Gol G2 and G3 (1996–2010) and Saveiro G2 and G3 (1997–2005). The OE numbers also span several unrelated racks. This listing therefore cannot be matched to a single vehicle from the data provided. Please confirm the exact rack number from your existing unit or VIN before ordering.

Fitment checks before ordering

Australian and NZ vehicles are right-hand drive. Confirm drive side, the exact OE number and your VIN before ordering, as this listing covers many different racks.

Package inclusions

1 x steering rack per box for the selected option. Tie-rod ends, fluid and fixings are not included unless stated.
