I have pulled out my old rack due to a leak (that was fun!) and I ordered a used one from a wrecker from out of town. No used passats in my city! After speaking to the dealer, he said there is 2 different racks, a ZF and a Conya(sp?) and I had the ZF. So the wrecker sold me what they claim is a ZF. But when i pulled mine out, it looks different, mostly the shock is different and the attachment for the shock on the passenger side inner tie rod. My old one says ZF on it, the replacement doesn't but they are both aluminum, and the dealer says only ZFs are aluminum housing and the other one steel Question: will this rack work? Do I have to switch over that shock, if so how? Is this rack even a ZF? Can a passat use either one? Attached is a picture of the 2 racks, the top is my old one I just pulled out.
