Default Has anyone attempted an A-4 Steering rack transplant into an A-6?

I know that the A-4 rack has a quicker ratio than the A-6, but does it bolt up? Many of the front suspension componens are the same, so it seems it might be a simple swap. Any comments? Insights?

Default I'd fix that wheel gap before you replace the A6 steering rack with an A4 one... :D

I have yet to hear one positive thing about the suspension/steering on the A4's...

Maybe it's just all the people I know with A4's seem to have the most problems...

IIRC You need to stretch the A4 rack a few inches
