1966-1977 Beetle or Ghia Upper Ball Joint LH or RH Side OEM Quality
The Ball Joints on your Air Cooled Volkswagen are prone to wear. When they fail, they often cause poor handling, poor alignment and possibly even a clunking sound.
Replace them with our OEM Quality 1966-1977 Upper Ball Joint. The ball joint includes the boot and a lock nut. These are sold individually, and 2 are required per car.
The ball joints press into your torsion arms and connect the torsion arms to the spindles.
It is highly suggested that you change all upper and lower ball joints at the same time. Lower ball joints are sold separately.
- Upper Ball Joint
- Fits LH or RH
- 2 required per car

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.
