Completed this task moments ago. This video’s instructions are spot on! Glad to see someone else values the importance on new bolts, and the use of torque wrench to spec. Thank you!

This was super helpful, just replaced this part this weekend. The one that came out was completely rusted.

the shaft can only go in one way because it is notched. also you can just lock the steering wheel by removing the key and turning in either direction

I’m pretty sure when you remove the key from ignition the steering wheel it locks 🔒 itself. Right?

Hey, you definitely don’t want to try stuffing the grommet and shaft in from the engine compartment. I just did it in a half hour and pushed it from the inside out. Push it in as far as you can from the inside and then from the bottom of the car grab the tabs hanging off the grommet with pliers and pull it through. Don’t pull too hard or you might rip the rubber off, just work your way around.

What were the symptoms mate, clunking/nocking noise when turning the steering from left to right at low speeds?

Hello sir, tell me something if you're in the know. You see when you're under the car, the lowest bolt you removed, the knuckle the fits to the steering rack. What's that joints name? Or type etc. I installed a down pipe to my b8.5, the downpipe is a 3" integrated engineering downpipe. It's designed for left hand drive, mine is right hand drive. I had to modify the downpipe slightly to get it to pass the steering rack. We heated and pressed the pipe to try replicate the original cat press angle but it's still "just touching" the protective ring which I made a custom heat shield for. While I drive.. depending on camber of the road etc I can feel vibration through the steering. My though process is .. yes, I could lift the car and keep uninstalling the cat and pressing the exhaust but it's only compressing the pipe more and more. Or what I pondered was.. you can get steering rack extensions, much the same as the knuckle in the foot well that you first disconnected. But I'd need a female to male. This knuckle would give me all the clearance I require but I'm struggling to find a knuckle online. Any ideas or suggestions? My clearance from above if very awkward to poke and prod to nudge the exhaust and is quite dangerous when heat cycles happen (obviously easier when hot) and the under side is impossible without removing the shields and lifting the car. So I'm pondering about a knuckle joint. What do you think?

@@hogueraleksander5868 Replaced mine today, I've taken it for a 20 minute drive and noise is gone. Before the noise would start after about 5 minutes of warm up. The job is easy except for getting the rubber boot seated properly which was a real mission. The audi service manual says to attach the shaft at the steering wheel end, then get the boot in place and then attach it to the steering rack, I think this is the right approach. The shaft doesn't come with the bolts, you have to order those seperately.

What was the reason for changing it? Noice? Squeaking sound when turning the wheel? Because I hear squeaking when I turn to left only and Inhave killed it with lube and WD40 but it doesn’t help
