Edelmann 8917 Rack and Pinion Seal Kit

Power Steering Seal Kit Overview

The Edelmann 8917 rack and pinion seal kit is built for power steering repair work where sealing performance matters. It is a direct-fit repair solution for ZF rack and pinion gear applications in select Audi and Volkswagen models.

Key Features

• Premium component construction for durable steering system service.
• Engineered to meet OE fit, form, and function requirements.
• Designed for rack and pinion seal repair in power steering systems.
• Brand Line: Power Steering Repair Kit for focused steering system service.

Detailed Application

Fits 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat, N/A; 2000-2002 Audi S4, N/A; 1996-2001 Audi A4, N/A; and 1996-1999 Audi A4 Quattro, N/A with ZF rack and pinion gear. The Edelmann 8917 is intended for vehicles that need a seal-focused steering repair rather than a full rack replacement. This part cross-references Gates 348511 and Anchor 2409 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Steering fluid leaks from worn rack and pinion seals.
• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the power steering system.
• Steering response issues caused by internal seal wear.
• Service needs on ZF rack and pinion gear assemblies.

Installation Notes

Confirm rack and pinion gear type before ordering, since fitment is limited to ZF-equipped applications. Inspect related steering components during service and replace worn seals as part of a complete repair. Use proper steering system service procedures to maintain sealing performance.

Quality Assurance

Edelmann has more than 60 years of power steering manufacturing experience and builds steering repair products to meet or exceed OE standards for fit, form, and function.
