What Owners Say
"Rubber bushings designed only to handle high loads front and aft. With high speed turns the bushings tend to tear/ wear due to high side loads."
Anonymous, FL (2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI 3.6-L V6)""Power steering fluid leaked into the rack and pinion, damaging it such that the entire assembly needed to be replaced.""

"Four wheel alignment is hard to maintain within specifications and is easily thrown out of adjustment due to road potholes and ruts."
