Worn inner tie rods require only replacing the inner tie rods. Not that
big a deal.

The steering rack (again is going to have to be replaced once again. The
inner tie-rods are worn-out and their is some sloppy steering wheel
play. does
anyone know what the best refurbished of steering gears are for the
vanagon? I
can find all sorts of them online with all different price ranges but
don't know
which are junk and which brands will hold up. any help will be
appreciated.

All so, how much of a job is it to replace the axle bearing they are
getting
a little noisy.

All of this information is for my 1987 wolfburg with automatic.
