Detailed Description

Sunsong 8401300 is a steering seal kit for repairing the rack and pinion unit rather than replacing the entire assembly. It is listed for 1993-1998 Volkswagen Golf and 1993-1998 Volkswagen Jetta with TRW rack and pinion, plus 1985-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet, 1985-1991 Volkswagen Golf except ZF rack, 1985-1991 Volkswagen Jetta except ZF rack, 1982-1984 Volkswagen Jetta, 1982-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible, and 1981-1983 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup. This part cross-references Gates 351010 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

  • Steering fluid leakage from worn rack and pinion seals
  • Loss of hydraulic steering assist caused by seal wear
  • Steering gear service on TRW-equipped Volkswagen Golf and Jetta models
  • Restoration of sealing performance during rack rebuild work
  • Repair of aging Volkswagen steering units on Cabriolet, Rabbit Convertible, and Rabbit Pickup applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rack manufacturer before ordering, since some Volkswagen Golf and Jetta applications exclude ZF rack systems while others require TRW rack and pinion. Inspect the steering housing, shaft surfaces, and internal wear points during service so the new seals are installed into a clean, damage-free assembly. Confirm the vehicle application against the part number 8401300 before disassembly.
