A friend installed a 2016 Golf R dynamic steering rack into my 2017 Alltrack S. Ready to go back under the car. Went from 2.8 (linear) to just less than 2 turns (variable) lock to lock. Got a chance to drive it hard and am super happy with this!
The steering rack was replaced earlier this year when it started to lock randomly.
My rack came furnished with new tie rod inner and outer ends(Affects steering accuracy and tigheness) and boots installed, OEM, ready to go.
Dealership replaced electronic steering rack under warranty and issue fixed.
Got my steering rack replaced two months ago and taking my car back to the dealer on Monday due to the same noise issue that started to happen week after repair.
I just had mine replaced on my 2019 SE R-Line this week. The noise was gone but the alignment was off!
I just got mine replaced like two weeks ago and no problems since then. Mine was bad from the very beginning literally l noticed it few days after I purchased my brand new 2019 Atlas.
My VDub has been good and bad. Lots of expensive components I had to replace. Steering rack
VW is repurchasing my 2017 Alltrack after it spent 45 days at the dealer for repairs in the first 11 months I owned it. Its had a multitude of creaking/squeaking suspension parts - strut mount bearing, end links replaced. The last straw for me was a loud popping when turning the wheel which required an entire new steering rack.
YES my car does this also, it started at about 12,500 miles. My car is a 2017 4-motion S sportwagen, mine is so bad that you can duplicate it when the car is stopped or when it is driving.
