Product description
The tie rods of your Beetle or Type 3 are an important part of the steering system. They transfer the steering movement to the front wheels and must therefore be in perfect condition. Due to age, wear and corrosion, the tie rod ends can develop play or the tie rod itself can become damaged.
When a tie rod has seized due to corrosion, attempts are often made to free it using excessive force. However, this can result in damaged threads or even a bent tie rod. Never attempt to straighten a bent tie rod. The metal has been weakened at that point, meaning the rod may bend again under relatively minor stress, such as hitting a kerb. Do not take any risks with the steering system of your Beetle or Type 3, but always replace a damaged tie rod completely.
This complete right tie rod is supplied with both tie rod ends. The tie rod ends are maintenance-free and do not require periodic lubrication.
Sector steering or roller steering?
On the Beetle, this tie rod is only suitable for versions equipped with sector steering. Over the years, Volkswagen replaced sector steering with roller steering, but this change was not introduced on all versions at the same time. As a result, a Beetle from the same production period may be equipped with either sector steering or roller steering.
It is therefore important to check which type of steering box is fitted to your Beetle before ordering. Below is an overview of the versions and until when Volkswagen used sector steering. After that, roller steering was introduced.
Sector steering:
- Export Beetle up to 1961 (VIN 3 933 184)
- Beetle Convertible up to 1961 (VIN 3 933 184)
- Beetles intended for the domestic market (Standard version) up to 7.1965
Type 3
For the Type 3, this distinction does not apply. The Type 3 was equipped with roller steering from the beginning and never had sector steering. This tie rod is suitable for all Type 3 versions within the production years listed in the application.
