Because the late Super Beetle's tie rods bolt to the rack and to the steering arms, a worn end is usually replaced as a full assembly. Torn rubber boots let water in, and the ball joint wears fast after that. Replacing both sides at once keeps the steering feel even and makes the alignment easier to set. The same OE number covers left and right, so a pair of JP-8281-0 does the whole car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure or count threads on the old tie rod before removal so the toe setting starts close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a proper tie rod end puller; hammering the steering arm can damage it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit new self-locking nuts or cotter pins as the workshop manual specifies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten fasteners to factory specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave the front toe set by an alignment shop after fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe do not publish torque values here; use the factory workshop manual for your vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the JP-8281-0 fit my 1977 Super Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
