Tie Rod ends help...

Post by Panda Matt » 11th June 2019 - 2:28pm

Hi folks,

Am refurbishing my 1970's beam and want to replace the tie rod ends.

The Tech Web has this helpful diagram:
http://www.vwtype3and4club.org.uk/type3 ... pb4-22.php

...that shows 3 different parts (8,8,9,10), but no part numbers.

ISP West has this great interactive diagram
https://www.vwispwest.com/pg95img1
...but this shows the pre-67 parts, lists 2 68-on part numbers (311415811C and 311415812C) but not where they fit. Also 2 part numbers is not the same as 3 part numbers

So stupid question - what part numbers do I need to be looking for?

Many thanks in advance

Matt

So in other words, order Type 1 parts for the same year. The angled one is difficult to find, as it's bent in the opposite direction to the beetle part. Have a feel of yours for play & consider giving it new grease & new boot

Brilliant, thanks Peter!

I knew the answers were somewhere, just couldn't find them!

I'll take a look if there's anything else in that directory that needs pulling in more formally
