Beetle Steering Column Bearing - 1971-79

This replacement steering column bearing is made to the correct specification for VW Beetles built from August 1970 until the end of production, including late-model Mexican Beetles.

Located inside the steering column tube, this bearing allows the steering shaft to turn smoothly and precisely. Over time, dust, moisture, and lack of lubrication can cause the bearing to wear out or seize, resulting in steering play, noise, or a loose feeling at the wheel. In severe cases, a worn bearing can contribute to excessive movement at the drag link with potentially serious safety consequences.

Manufactured as an accurate reproduction of the original part, this bearing restores proper support and smooth rotation to your steering column, ensuring precise and safe steering performance.

• OE-style reproduction made to factory dimensions

Fitting Notes:
