Anyone else able to find inner tie rods for the Fuego (with power steering)
I have yet to find them here in the US, just an entire steering rack which costs $$$ _________________ 2003 VW Passat wagon 1.8t 56k mi

Still availbale in Australia. Europe and other places.
Would you like Australian contacts?

I may have tracked down some good used ones. waiting to find out for sure (US Renault Alliance with manual rack used the same inner rods it seems) If not I'd love some contacts outside the US to try (websites or what have you) _________________ 2003 VW Passat wagon 1.8t 56k mi

Well as it turns out the inspection mechanic was on something. Got it to my regular mechanic, we put it on the lift and found it had a new rack and inner rods in it already. What it really needed was ball joints.
All fixed and inspected now.
oh if anyone needs R15, R17, early R18 upper ball joints... I have a set laying around. came with the Fuego, but they don't fit on the Fuego.
