Iv got a few questions that need answering....

Iv got 3 racks in front of me: A VTS rack, a Gti6 rack and an S16 rack, now my question is how come they all have different lengths steering rack rods/bars

The VTS rack has 277mm rods/bars


The Gti6 rack has 292mm rods/bars


And the S16 rack that came on the dimma has 260mm rods/bars before the added 75mm dimma extensions


Now my question is.... If I fit the vts rack to the dimma with the dimma extensions will it not make the wheels have mega toe in as they are 17mm longer than the s16 length bars?

My second question is how do you remove these bars/rods from the ram section as there is no flats before or after the larger silver portion


Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated

I used standard 306 ones with my vts rack.

To remove, stilsons would be the best bet IMO. Worked fine for me.

Grip the ball joint part and turn, should come loose to the right 9f your rod in the pic

Iv done the non ram end but how do you do the ram end with out gripping it through the boot and destroying the boot?

I know iv got to grip the part where my finger is and was easy enough on the non ram side as I could remove the protective boot but how do you remove the boot on the ram side?




The larger end of the boot appears to be bonded onto the ram eye end bolt lug housing or what ever you want to call it

Thanks for the help so far

So that boot has a metal coller bonded to the boot then?
Thanks mate I'll give it a go on the rack I don't need so doesn't matter if I destroy it

Glad you are sorted It made me wonder the first time I did one.

Well it's stripped down into every little component, now just got to clean paint and rebuild before fitting it to the Dimma

Are you replacing any components when you rebuild it?

Wouldn't mind a guide of what's involved once you've finished
