Product Overview

The steering gear with track rods, OEM number 6RF423057M, is the rack-and-pinion assembly fitted across the VW Polo, VW Jetta (BL-5), and Skoda Rapid (NH1/NH3) platforms. These compact and mid-size models share this steering architecture, so one SKU covers demand across three nameplates.

Worn units typically show up as loose or vague steering, knocking over bumps, or uneven front tire wear. GSK Auto manufactures this steering gear to OEM specification at our Ningbo, China facility, with every unit tested before packing. We supply at wholesale volume with low MOQ and support private label packaging, with our team available to confirm fitment before shipping.

What Is a Steering Gear?

Function: The steering gear converts rotational input from the steering column into linear movement of the track rods, which turns the front wheels. This unit includes the rack housing and track rods together as one assembly.

Working Principle: A pinion gear on the steering column meshes with a toothed rack inside the housing. Turning the wheel moves the rack side to side, pulling the track rods to steer the front wheels.

Importance: On compact and mid-size platforms like the Polo, Jetta, and Rapid, the steering gear directly affects steering precision and tire wear over the life of the vehicle.

Common Failures & Signs: Rack bushing or bearing wear causing looseness or play Torn track rod boots letting in dirt and moisture Vague or wandering steering feel, especially at speed Clunking noise over rough roads or when turning
