STEERING BEARINGS

Essential Support for Your Steering Column Maintaining the alignment and rotation of your steering shaft requires high-quality support components. Our inventory covers the critical wear points found in Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 models:

• Upper & Lower Column Bearings: We stock the essential upper steering column bearings—including the common needle-style bearings and plastic sleeves—that prevent the steering wheel from wobbling or clicking.

• Steering Box Internal Bearings: For those rebuilding their steering gear, we provide the specialized needle bearings and rollers required to overhaul the steering gearbox. Replacing these internals is the best way to ensure smooth, low-friction operation across the entire range of motion.

• Specialized Bushings & Sleeves: Often, it isn’t just the bearing itself but the supporting bushing or sleeve that has disintegrated. We carry the correct hardware to ensure your steering shaft remains centered and silent.

The Professional Solution for Steering Play Replacing a steering column bearing is a foundational step in any interior or front-end restoration. By choosing high-quality replacements that meet or exceed original equipment standards, you ensure that your steering inputs are translated accurately to the wheels. Whether you are daily driving a Beetle or navigating a weekend trail in a Bus, a solid steering column is vital for driver confidence and overall safety.
