Product Details

BBB Industries New Rack and Pinion line focuses on replacement steering components built to match the original hydraulic layout used on select Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta models. Part number N312-0103 is a new unit, not remanufactured, and is configured with inner tie rods already installed for a more complete steering gear replacement. The rack uses M16 x 1.50 pressure and return port threads, a 0.75 in. input shaft diameter, and a 47.75 in. rack length for applications that require this specific OE-style geometry. This part number, N312-0103, is listed for 1985-1991 Volkswagen Golf with power steering, 1985-1988 Volkswagen Jetta with TRW design, and 1989-1991 Volkswagen Jetta with ZF design, along with select 1992 Volkswagen Golf and 1992 Volkswagen Jetta chassis-specific applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Excessive steering play or loose steering feel
• Hydraulic steering fluid leaks at the rack assembly
• Uneven or inconsistent steering response
• Worn internal rack components affecting road control
• Noise or binding during steering input

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify chassis number, steering design, and power steering configuration before ordering, especially on 1992 Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta applications. Confirm the mounting-hole spacing, port thread size, and input shaft dimensions against the original unit before installation. Because outer tie rods are not included, reuse or replace them as needed based on inspection. After installation, bleed the hydraulic system and perform a professional alignment.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries supplies this New Rack and Pinion as a new replacement steering assembly for direct-service applications. The N312-0103 is built for the specified Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta fitments and follows the dimensional and hydraulic specifications needed for proper steering system replacement.
