I was going through the box of parts the PO gave me last year when I bought the car. I found this. Any ideas? 1981 GTSi Image Unavailable, Please Login
that is a bushing for the either the steering rack or the steering shaft. I can't remember exactly but I had a few of these from when I had my rack rebuilt.
Yes! That shape seemed familiar but I hadn't placed it. The cutouts are for the passage of oil in the rack.
