Steering Gear, Removing And Installing: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi S7, 2015 Audi A7 Quattro, 2014 Audi S7, 2014 Audi A7 Quattro, and 2013 Audi S7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Power steering gear is completely removed and installed with tie rods.
A removable heat shield mat was installed on the steering gear at start of production. Be sure to install this mat if installing the old steering gear again.
A removable heat shield mat on the steering gear was replaced by a bonded heat shield mat as a running change. It is therefore not necessary to take the mat from the old steering gear and installing on a new steering gear.
A replacement steering gear comes with the bonded heat shield mat.
