Detailed Description

Delphi TA5066 steering tie rod end is designed for Volkswagen Beetle steering service where precise outer linkage fitment matters. This straight tie rod end uses a steel housing, steel tie rod material, and a coated finish, with a pre-greased design and chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from contamination. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to improve OE-to-aftermarket compatibility, and the part is validated through extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure testing. If you are replacing a worn Volkswagen Beetle right outer tie rod end, TA5066 provides a direct-service option for the specified chassis and model years.

This part cross-references 113415812C for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Loose or vague steering feel at the front end
  • Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod joint
  • Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
  • Steering pull related to degraded tie rod components
  • Inspection failure from excessive steering system movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle position before ordering: this part is listed for right outer applications on the Volkswagen Beetle, with 1968 fitment limited to chassis serial number 118-587-240 and later 1969-1978 coverage. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall linkage length against the removed part before installation. After replacement, have the front end inspected and aligned to restore proper steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-focused engineering practices, including dimensional and material analysis plus environmental testing for heat and corrosion resistance. The TA5066 part number is built as a standard replacement for service work on the specified Volkswagen Beetle applications.
