Detailed Description

The V10-6340 part number should be matched to the vehicle’s OE reference and configuration before installation.

What It Helps Fix

• Front left steering knuckle damage from impact or road debris
• Excessive play or looseness in the steering/suspension mounting point
• Corrosion or wear affecting wheel-end alignment geometry
• Replacement needs after brake carrier or knuckle service on listed Volkswagen models
• OE-number match requirements for 1J0407255AG applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number on the original part before ordering, especially on Volkswagen Jetta and Beetle applications with VIN or PR-code restrictions noted in the fitment data. Confirm the front left position, compare the dimensions to the removed component, and inspect related suspension and steering parts for wear during replacement. The paired article number is V10-6341, which should be checked when servicing the opposite side.

Quality Assurance

VAICO parts are specified to OE references and application data for accurate replacement selection. For this steering knuckle, the key quality check is matching OE number 1J0407255AG and the listed Volkswagen fitment before installation.
