This Prothane rack and pinion bushing is listed for 1980 to 1984 Volkswagen Jetta models and the 1979 to 1984 Rabbit and Rabbit Convertible. On these cars, aged rack bushings let the steering rack shift, which feels like slack at the wheel. It is a cheap fix for vintage VW owners who want a tighter, more confident drive.

What else to plan for

  • An alignment after installing new arms or bushings.
  • Matching parts at the other end. Upgrading one side or one link and leaving worn parts elsewhere limits the improvement.
  • Install tools. Pressed-in bushings may need a press or a shop to fit them.
