Mk1 power steering rack

Can someone clarify this is a power steering rack for a mk1 golf  please

Looks like it but, there are 2 different racks, one for Auto's and one for Manuals, and since I don't see the bracket for the relay shaft I would say Automatic.

There should be a VAG number on it and we can cross check that number….  it appears also to be LHD

Wasn't to sure as I didn't know they did a power steering rack for the mk1 lhd there is a tag on it with numbers I'll grab it tonight

Thanks for your help

Part number 175 422 055b 9k 2b2

It was fitted to some Cabby's from very late 90 until end of production in April 93. The Sportline for example! 😉

So it appears that this is the manual version…

Brilliant thanks so it should be a straight fit in my 82 mk1 lhd gti the spline from the steering knuckle will fit ?

I can't say specifically as the bracket that should have a hole in it for the shifter relay rod has two threaded studs  there where the hole bracket should be.  It could be that you who drive RHD models have a bolted bracket to hold the relay shaft….  

I do know that on my LHD Autos there isn't a bracket.
I do know that on my LHD manuals there was a Bracket for the Relay shaft…. it was more square like in the breakdown picture than the rounded protrusion….

I may take a closer look at my Rack as I have to change the Steering Pump today.

I do know that if you change out a Steering shaft and wheel on a Air-Bagged 90 Cabriolet you have to get the scirocco or early type of u=joint coupler to mate the new steering shaft to the Rack Be it Manual or Power in the 90ish over here on this side of the pond.

Ah ok I see as far as the shifter relay rod I'm not worried about as I have a cae shifter going in just want to know if I have to change the u-joint unfortunately can't get to the my mk1 for another couple of weeks
Thanks for your help
