Steering Gear Assembly Overview, Generation 2, through MY 2008

The generation 2 steering gear is no longer available as a replacement part.

In addition to this, the electrical wiring set from the E-box to the steering gear must be changed. It will be included with the new steering gear. Allocation, refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).
