• Uneven tire wear caused by excessive steering play
• Steering wheel wander or poor directional stability
• Visible boot damage or grease loss at the tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left position and confirm vehicle-specific fitment before installation. For the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta, confirm the seventh and eighth VIN digits are 9M or 1J. For the 1998 Volkswagen Beetle, confirm fitment from V.I.N. #W047125. After installation, a front-end alignment is recommended to restore proper steering geometry.
