STEERING BOXES

Reliable Steering for Every Generation The steering box is the mechanical heart of your front end. We stock a wide variety of replacements to match the specific needs of your vehicle:

• Standard OE-Style Boxes: We carry the definitive TRW-style steering boxes for Type 1 Beetles and Ghias. These are the industry standard for a factory-correct restoration, offering smooth operation and a bolt-on fit for models from 1950 through 1977.

• Bus & Transporter Gear: Steering a Type 2 requires heavy-duty hardware. We provide replacement steering gears for early Split Window and later Bay Window Busses, ensuring your Transporter remains easy to maneuver even when fully loaded.

• Super Beetle Solutions: The Super Beetle’s unique suspension and steering geometry require a specialized box. Our inventory includes the correct units for these models to eliminate the dreaded "shimmy" and restore highway stability.

• Chrome & Show Options: For those building a custom street machine or a show-winning buggy, our chrome-plated steering boxes provide the same reliable internals with a mirror-finish exterior that stands out in any engine bay or front-end assembly.

Engineering Purity and Safety A steering box is not a component where you want to compromise. That is why we source our boxes from trusted names like TRW, EMPI, and Kuhltek. Every box we sell is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring that the internal friction is minimized and the mechanical advantage is maximized. By replacing a worn-out, non-adjustable box with a fresh unit, you simplify your alignment process and significantly improve the overall safety of your vehicle.
