VW Type 1 PRObuilt Steering Box

Professionally rebuilt OEM VW steering box
Direct replacement for 1962 and later models
24mm "small shaft" unit compatible with later pitman arms
Includes new worm gear, roller shaft, and NOS roller bearings
Billet anodized steering box top for durability
OEM VW worm adjuster and adjuster nut
New seals and stainless steel hardware
Grease-able Zerk fitting for easy maintenance
Gun blued exposed steel components
Powder-coated case for corrosion resistance
Pre-adjusted and filled with Corn Head Grease

This original VW Type 1 steering box has been completely and professionally rebuilt by the PRObuilt team at Airkewld, ensuring top-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Designed as a direct replacement for various Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, and Thing models, this steering box features a 24mm "small shaft" that fits 1962 and later pitman arms, as well as replacement arms 17-2566 and 17-2567. If installing on a 1961 or earlier Beetle or Ghia, use the 17-2566 pitman arm for proper fitment. The input shaft size is 16mm with a 62-spline count.

Product Fitment

1962-1977 VW Beetle
1962-1974 VW Karmann Ghia
1962-1973 VW Type 3
1973-1974 VW Thing

Our Expert's Take:

If your steering is vague, all other components (tie rod ends, ball joints or king & link pins, wheel bearings, etc) are all in good shape, and the worm gear has been adjusted properly, it is time to replace your steering box. If you want the best possible steering box, this is it.
