Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1998 Volkswagen Beetle, right outer. Verify the front right outer position, thread sizes, and stud dimensions before installation. Because this is a steering component, a professional alignment should be performed after replacement. TA1666 uses a non-greaseable design, so no grease fitting service is required.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt-spray testing. That OE-focused validation supports dependable fit and finish for the Volkswagen Beetle application.
