Beetle 2" Narrowed Tie Rod Kit - LHD - 1961-65

This top-quality inner long tie rod end is a precision reproduction part designed to fit the inner end of the long tie rod on pre-1968 VW Beetles, Karmann Ghias, Type 3s, and Buggies/Bajas. It features a left-hand thread and includes a steering damper mounting hole, making it the correct specification for original steering setups used between 1962 and 1967.

This tie rod end uses the smaller 10mm taper required for early-style spindles and steering arms, along with an M14 threaded shaft, ensuring an accurate and secure fit into the tie rod. The included steering damper mounting point is essential for maintaining proper steering feel and reducing vibrations on vehicles with a factory damper.

Ideal for stock restorations or front-end rebuilds, this tie rod end ensures tight, responsive steering and long-term durability.
