Just swapped an r32 rack into my GLI. so awesome, totally notice a difference right away.
Pros: totally notice a difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have a r32 rack in my 2000 NB. I will never ever drive a mk4 without one. Yes it makes all the difference in the world.
Pros: makes all the difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I've had the R32 rack for a few years and love it. Granted I did a full blown hybrid suspension swap when it was installed but I think it feels great. Overall turn-in response is sharp and responsive, my mk4 feels almost mk2 go-kart like.
Pros: sharp and responsive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Yes I installed it a good 6 months ago. The rack did reduce lock to lock. I do enjoy the difference, but I could live with the stock rack.
Pros: reduced lock to lock
Cons: not an overwhelming difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
It started happening in my wife's '22 Sport at about 4000 miles, then we didn't notice it for a while, then I drove it on the highway this week and noticed it again. It's drivable, and using LKAS actually helps make it not as noticeable, but it shouldn't be happening
Cons: sticky steering, shouldn't be happening

I have a 22 Si I recieved in April 22 and experience it. Dealer is going to replace the rack and motor but as mentioned they are on back order.
Cons: sticky steering, part on backorder
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I will say, as an owner for a 2022 Civic Sport, my steering has been feeling a hair sticky while driving straight and if i touch the wheel it feels like it was stuck in that middle position. Not sure if I am showing early symptoms. I am at 4800 miles and it started around 3000. Will be taking it to the dealership soon but not sure if they will even tell what I'm talking about.
Cons: sticky steering, stuck in middle
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 7725 km
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.
Cons: noise issue returned
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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.
Cons: loud popping when turning
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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.
Cons: bad steering rack
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 12500 km
