Thread specifications include a 22.0 mm end 1 thread diameter, 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, and clockwise thread direction at both ends. The unit measures 296.0 mm from stud center to end and is listed as a standard replacement for Volkswagen steering applications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA1376 at the front inner steering position and verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before alignment.
