OEM PRObuilt Steering Box - 2480

The most often neglected part of the Classic Volkswagen Drive-Train is the Steering Box. The 113415061C, which is the factory OEM part number, is the most common steering box used. It will work with *All Type 1's, Type 3's, Type 181's and anything that came with a Ball Joint front suspension.

Adjusting the steering box with the adjustment on the top of the box is often over used. As a whole, the steering box is responsible to 40% of the steering wheel play/creep in the steering system. Crazy, right? There is SO MUCH MORE that is responsible for play/creep but we as consumers assume, the steering box is the reason. Let's get into the grease and bearings of the subject...

4-6 Inch Narrowed Ball Joint Tie Rods - 2423

To get proper Ackerman, you need to have the right length of tie rods when you narrow your beam. It is not as simple as cutting your tie rods the amount you narrowed your beam. It's a math problem.

For reference, your steering box is not in the center of the beam. It is to the left here in the US. So the lengths of the tie rods play a major role in steering geometry. So, to not give away our secrets, let's just say we have done the math for you.

These tie rods are narrowed enough to allow for four to six inches of narrowed width on a 1966 through 1977 Type 1 Classic Volkswagen Beetle, Karmann Ghia, in a ball joint application. For the four inch application, you will have less threads showing on the tie rod ends and for the six inch, you will have more. Stock tie rods consist of part numbers 131415801B, 131415802C for 1966-68, and 131415801F, 131415802E for 1969-77.
