OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Steering Damper Bushing, All Models
Steering Damper Bushing, All Models
Price: $5.95

Steering Damper Bushing, All Models is the bushing that is pressed into the arm the steering damper is bolted through. It's responsible for absorbing steering shock, and allowing the parts to pivot and twist during the mechanics of steering.

This part is ALWAYS worn out. It's also inexpensive, but a bad one can cause massive headaches and wear out tie rod ends, not to mention ruin tires.

Coat this with Talcum Powder or Baby Powder and it slips in fairly easily, that won't degrade the rubber like petroleum based lubricants will!

Tie Rod Relocation Kit (Tie Rod Flip Kit), Pair
Tie Rod Relocation Kit (Tie Rod Flip Kit), PAIR
Price: $19.95

Tie Rod Relocation Kit (Tie Rod Flip Kit), Pair are used to "Flip" your tie rod end. Simply drill the hole out to 5/8" and then use this bushing to put the tie rod on the other side! Great product! This is used to correct steering geometry in lowered cars, or to get more tie rod clearance.

This is a great product for correcting steering geometry and bump-steer issues!

These ONLY fit late tie rod ends! You can use these on early cars with the smaller tie rod ends, but you'll need 2 new tie rod ends to match the newly inserted bushings.

An example of a car that has a "problem" is when the car is extremely lowered, and now the outer tie rods sit higher than the pitman arm on the steering box (inner tie rods). Using this kit, you relocate the outer arms to insert into the spindle from BELOW, rather than above, and this restores the tie rod angle that is necessary for the steering to work properly.
