is it normal to have a steering damper on a beetle? - hydraulic type one - like on a bike, from the beam to the steering arm
if it is unusual I'll get a pic taken and posted so it's more obvious what I mean
cheers

Yes,
All Beetles after 1959>> had steering Dampers...
like a small shock absorber....
they make the steering smoother....

You would have to fit the tie rod from a model that had the steering damper... for one end and the other end just bolts onto the torsion bar tube... just weld a bracket...
A front swaybar would help with the handling too...
