karmannghia60 - November 16th, 2005 at 08:34 PM

Can someone tell me the length of the tie rods on a '60 Beetle? Are they different from the Ghia ones?
Thanks

hi
they are the same
i think i mentioned that before
but RHD original aussie vw are longer than LHD ones
if you having probs still with steering buy are new set of aussie tie rods and put them against the ones you have and see if someones just swap with LHD on the car
i think thats your problem

there are a few different types , but make sure that you have approx half of the threaded rod end exposed from the rod, when both front wheels are straight

some rods have fixed ends, its better to have rods that have adjustable ends
