Your thought process is accruate, just the VW terminology is different
VW hub carrier = steering knuckle in american terms
what everyone is talking about is the intermediate shaft that connects the upper half of the steering column to the actual rack and pinion unit. Look between you gas pedal and brake pedal and you will see this shaft going through the firewall off you car.
Oh and VW calls this a driveshaft.

I have a complete manual steering rack (inner/outer tie rod ends + boots) and the u-joint for the steering column both from a Rabbit. Can I put the Rabbit rack/u-joint into the Scirocco without changing anything else? Has anyone done this for sure?
PS - I interpret steering knuckles as the part on the hub where the tie rod ends connect to it. Isn't that what a steering knuckle really is?

I just posted an ongoing thread about manual steering conversion, and the consensus was that the knuckles are the same for power or manual racks, and that a rabbit unit would work. Now I'm confused, Josh.

I'll fix my car, even if I have to replace every part in it... and since the problem will be the last part I replace, I'll have a brand new car when I'm done!
