1302 + 1303 Beetle Complete Adjustable Tie Rod (Bare Rod Is 410mm) - 1971-74

This Complete Track Rod is a direct replacement part designed to fit either the left or right-hand side of all VW Beetle 1302 and 1303 models produced between 1971 and 1974. It comes fully assembled with track rod ends pre-installed, making it a convenient, bolt-on solution for steering system restoration or repair.

Track rods play a vital role in your Beetle’s steering mechanism by connecting the steering box to the wheel hubs, allowing the wheels to respond accurately to steering input. Worn or bent track rods can cause imprecise handling, uneven tire wear, and excessive play in the steering wheel. Replacing them with new, correctly sized components is key to restoring safe, predictable steering performance.

This complete assembly is manufactured to OE specifications, ensuring proper length, thread, and articulation. It features robust ball joints and comes ready for installation without the need for additional assembly. Once fitted, a wheel alignment is recommended to ensure proper geometry and prevent tire wear.

Fitment Note:
Suitable for all 1302 (Super Beetle MacPherson strut models) and 1303 (curved windshield Super Beetles) from 1971–1974.
