Tie rod assembly right Beetle VW 1200, VW 1300 and VW 1500 LHD 1968 and later

Due to the effect of rust, the steering tie-rod and drag link ball joints often cannot be adjusted in the normal way. It is only by forcing the whole thing back to normal, but this often leads to other problems such as broken threads or a bent rod. Never try to bend the rod back to its original shape, otherwise there is a good chance that in the event of a small collision (a border is sufficient), the rod will be bent back to where you bent it straight. Don't create dangerous situations with a repaired rod, but replace it completely, so that your ball joints are instantly renewed.
