TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:311-0226
Steer with confidence and restore precise on-center feel with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Remanufactured Power Steering Rack and Pinion Assembly 312-0203. This premium-quality remanufactured power steering rack & pinion drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2014 Volkswagen Jetta (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). The rack and pinion converts the rotation of the steering wheel into the side-to-side motion that turns the front wheels, using hydraulic assist to reduce steering effort.
Signs the original rack and pinion may need replacing include power steering fluid leaks, excessive play or a loose feel in the steering, hard steering, or clunking and knocking when turning. If a failed rack and pinion is the cause of these symptoms, this assembly replaces it. Have the vehicle's steering system diagnosed to confirm the rack is the fault before replacing, and a wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
