Step by step instructions
NOTE: Requires 15" wheels or larger. This kit will not work with 14" wheels.
NOTE: 1966 to mid-1968 ball joint front suspensions will require later model 12mm outer tie rod ends installing this kit:
- 12mm left outer tie rod end (Part#: 311415811C)
- 12mm right outer tie rod end (Part#: 311415812C)
On 1966-1968-½ Bug & Ghia, the customer must verify what existing spindles on the car. When switching to new replacement spindles, these are all late style 1968 -½ and later spindles that require the correct 1968 -½ and later tie rod ends. Please read the explainer article to identify what spindles your car currently has so you can confirm if you need to buy late model replacement tie rod ends. It is the customer's responsibility to purchase the correct tie rod ends.
NOTE:On 1966 Bugs or Karmann Ghia's, the Brake hose that come in the kit will be too short and will require using two longer (Part#: 211611701SS) hoses.
