How should the Rack and Pinions steering gear be adjusted if there is undue slackness resulting in noise or rattles on Audi 4000?

In case there is any unreasonable slackness of the steering gear, making it noisy or rattling, the steering gear must be adjusted by loosening the locknut and, keeping the wheels straight, turning the adjusting screw of the screw until it just clears the thrust washer, which in some models may need an Allen key. Then screw the lockut and leave the screw of adjustment stationary. Lastly, make the steering turn in both ways to be sure that there are no snug spots.

How to remove and install the Rack and Pinions in the steering gear on Audi A4?

Removal of the rack and pinions requires that the vehicle be parked so that the front wheels are in straight line position, the parking brake is placed on, the rear wheels are chocked and finally the front wheel bolts are loosened and then the car raised with the help of jackstands.

Loosen the pinch bolt that holds the universal joint to the input shaft of the rack and pinions and then draw the universal joint off and push it aside. Drain both the power steering reservoir and use hose clamps to reduce the amount of fluid that will leak. Unscrew the shock absorber mounting fastener on the front lower shock absorber on the left hand side and disconnect the top of the steering knuckle upper control arms and then remove the tie-rod ends. Install the knuckle assembly to the front shock absorber assembly, delete the inner wheel well liner and on V6 models delete the front catalytic converter and heat shield mounting fasteners. Uncouple the supply and the return lines of the rack and pinions, clean up the links, empty the excess liquid and tie the links up to eliminate leakage. Loose the upper mounting fasteners on the passenger and driver sides and dismount the lower rack and pinions fastener and the upper two. Make sure that all connections are made visible, and turn the left side of the rack and pinions with the front, and retract it through the wheel-well on the left. In case the rack and pinions is broken, then it can require replacement or overhaul. To install, center rack and pinions, taking out socket head bolt of inspection hole, then, pushing the tie-rod on the right until the alignment hole shows, and then, a specially made bolt is used to secure the rack and pinions in place.
