removing power steering

[AB 0]

hi could someone confirm something for me. i am removing my power steering system as part of my engine bay tidy. does a non power steering rack from a mk2 fit on the corrado?? thanks

It would fit in but the column would need adjustment as the non power steering is shorter where the column meets to the rack.

so if i was to take the coloum from a golf as well would that work? thanks for your advice on this,

16v GTI's use the same rack as the early corrado, so I'd imagine you'd need a universal joint from the bottom of the steering column to the rack, off a manual rack golf.

corrado will be very heavy with a manual rack though, there's a lot more weight up front than in a golf.

Not the hole column ,just the lower half you will need,UJ to UJ its longer and should slot onto your existing set-up.

yeah thought it would be heavy but willing to make that sacrafice, i dont use the car that much any way. (not really practical for the newly made family) my corrado isan early one as well.
