Ahh thats very helpful indeed. I totally missed that the longer bolts were for the control arms. Thank you very much.

I just bought a used aluminum subframe.. It doesn’t have a puck mount.. I’m confused to what OEM part number i’m supposed to be buying.. does anyone have a part number? or should I be looking to go aftermarket.. I don’t want additional NVH.. was looking at the powerflex diesel insert to use with OEM puck.. possibly..

Hello to all. Can someone please give me the part number for the bolts holding the steering rack if I am not mistaken. I am talking about the bolt in the red circle. Thank you.

Thanks for the fast reply. I am afraid I still can't find the part number from the above site.

I agree its confusing. Audi diagram describes as a control arm bolt but part N 105 524 02 is the bolt that ties into the rack and the rack bushing. Same part number for GTI but described better on VW sites.

Thank you very much for your help. I ordered them. Will get them tomorrow.

Got the bolts. I am having the subframe installed on Monday. Anyone happens to know torque specifications for those 2 rack bolts?

Does anyone know if the rear washers are compatible with deadset/collar kits? My alu subframe making noise ever since Tyrolsport DS kit went in, planning to replace the bolts and possibly install the washers if compatible.

cuando armé el kit en el marco de aluminio se colocaron las arandelas y sin problemas ningún ruido.

The washers in question date from the mk5 era? They may fit over the lip on the kit collars, or not.
They have a knurled pattern and some long positioning tabs, right?
They predate all the collar kits, and did solve the movement issue, but not for everyone.
I think you'd have better results with the ARP bolts, as they are quite a bit more resistant to stretch.

we didn't use the washers on my car, no noises with the CTS locking collars and OE bolts.
