King Performance Titanium Steering Box Bolt Kit — 15-Piece Grade 5 Titanium (A14-TKIT)

Short answer: This is King Performance's 15-piece Grade 5 titanium steering box bolt kit, A14-TKIT, for the VW Beetle with the standard steering box and the Karmann Ghia, 1956–1974. It is not listed for the strut-front Super Beetle.

Steering box hardware sits on the front beam, out in the weather, and the factory steel bolts are often rusted solid by the time you need them out. This 15-piece Grade 5 titanium kit from King Performance (A14-TKIT) replaces the bolts and nuts that mount the steering box to the beam, secure the Pitman arm, and attach the beam clamps, in a metal that is lighter than steel and will not rust.
