1950-1977 Steering Gear Box - Reproduction 113415061C
Some 1961 and earlier cars with 28mm pitman arm shafts will have to change to the later model 24mm shaft pitman arm. Most VW Steering Boxes are tight when first installed but will loosen up a bit after a couple hundred miles.
Is your Vintage Volkswagen's steering system in need of some TLC? A great place to begin is this Reproduction Quality 1950-1977 Steering Gear Box. You can replace the ball joints and tie-rod ends, but if your steering gear box is worn, the loose and wandering steering will remain.
- Does not work on Super Beetle
- Comes with assembly lubrication only, requires 90 weight hypoid gear oil
TECH TIP: How to diagnose your worn steering gear box: With the vehicle sitting on the ground, pinch the steering wheel between your thumb and index finger and turn the wheel lightly in both directions. The freeplay should not exceed 25mm or 1 inch, measured at the wheel rim.
What is the difference between OEM and Reproduction Quality?
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Air Cooled VW Parts are often made in Germany. However, many German OEM suppliers have moved their production elsewhere in order to stay competitive in the current global market. When they do this the quality control still remains “OEM” standard. Examples: Boge and Sachs shocks are made in Mexico, Febi Ball Joints are made in Spain, FAG and SKF Bearings are made in Korea and other Asian countries, Bosch electrical products are often made in Brazil.
- Our Reproduction (REP) Quality Air Cooled VW Parts are manufactured to replace, fit and function similar to the OEM Part. Reproduction Quality Parts are made in various countries. We offer the Reproduction Quality as a trusted, more cost effective alternative to the OEM Quality Parts.
