This rebuilt German steering box is a high-performance upgrade for the classic enthusiast who demands precision. Re-engineered to eliminate the "slop" common in aging units, this box combines vintage German casting with modern CNC-machined components for a steering feel that is tight, predictable, and visually stunning.

Vehicle Fitment

  • Beetle (Type 1): 1961–1977

  • Karmann Ghia: 1961–1974

Precision Engineering & Restoration

Every unit undergoes a comprehensive overhaul to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory specifications. Our process focuses on structural integrity and frictionless operation:

  • Premium CNC Billet Top Cover: The standout feature is the custom-machined billet aluminum top plate. Polished to a mirror finish, it provides superior rigidity over stock cast covers, ensuring consistent pressure on the internal assembly.

  • Total Internal Refurbishment: Both the input shaft and the worm gear are polished and lathe-machined to remove all pitting, ensuring a smooth, catch-free rotation.

  • New Bearings & Seals: We replace all internal bearings, cups, and high-pressure seals for the input and sector shafts to prevent leaks and ensure longevity.

  • Housing Prep: The main housing is sandblasted and refinished for a clean, professional "like-new" appearance.

Optimized Performance

  • Zero Play on Center: Every box is professionally adjusted to ensure there is no "dead zone" while driving straight, providing immediate steering response.

  • Advanced Lubrication: Pre-filled with 00 Grease (Corn Header Grease). This specialized semi-fluid lubricant is the gold standard for vintage steering boxes, providing better coverage than standard grease while resisting the leaks common with thin gear oil.

  • New Sector Shaft Bushing: A fresh bushing is installed inside the housing to provide maximum lateral support to the sector shaft.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this a core exchange or outright purchase? Outright — your unit ships ready to install, no waiting on a rebuild. If you want to send in your old box for credit through our Core Exchange Program, just reach out.

  • What's the difference vs. a stock rebuild? The CNC billet top cover. Stock cast covers flex under load; the billet cover holds constant pressure on the internals, eliminating play that returns after a few thousand miles.

  • What grease does it use? Pre-filled with 00 Grease (Corn Header Grease) — the gold standard for vintage steering boxes. Coats better than gear oil and doesn't leak.

  • Can I install this myself? Yes, if you've done basic VW front-end work. Bolts directly in place of the original box using factory hardware.

  • Will it fit my Super Beetle? No — Super Beetles use a MacPherson strut front end with a different steering system. This box fits standard Type 1 Beetles and Karmann Ghias only.

This price secures your high-performance steering box immediately—no waiting required. Plus, we want to help you put cash back in your pocket! If you'd like to trade in your old steering box to offset the cost through our Core Exchange Program, just reach out. We'll help you turn that old part into instant savings.

Very Well-Made and Works Great!
I have a Macbook Pro, and naturally, these computers don't come with USB ports to connect to. That's why I bought these adapters. I needed some high quality ones that I know will last me for a long time, and given that I own my Anker products, I figured these would be a great purchase. And they are! These adapters are very well built. There's a bit of heft to them, and they feel very stable when plugged into my computer. There's no noise or distraction coming from them. You just plug it in and that's it. I have never once had any connectivity issues where the adapter, for whatever reason, stops working and I have to unplug it and then plug it back it. No, it works straight from the box and hasn't given me any issues. These are great adapters because they're built very sturdy, will not cause any connectivity issues, and are nice if you want to use a mouse or connect a USB stick to your Macbook.

Simple Solution for Using USB-A Cables with USB-C Chargers
I used these for the first time last week when I needed to plug a USB-A cable into a newer USB-C charger. They worked exactly as expected. The connection was solid, and the device powered on without any issues. I’ve generally had good experiences with Anker products, and these adapters are consistent with that—simple and reliable for what they’re designed to do. These are useful for bridging older USB-A cables with newer USB-C power sources, especially for basic charging needs. Build quality feels solid for the size, and they’re small enough to keep with your cables without getting in the way. Overall: a straightforward and reliable adapter for using USB-A cables with USB-C chargers.

Great product, mic and camera compatible
I bought this to use a webcam with a built-in mic on my Microsoft Windows Surface Pro 8. When I first plugged in the webcam both the camera and the mic were recognized, however the mic was not picking up sound. After double checking the device settings, my privacy settings, the device drivers, and everything else I simply unplugged and replugged the camera in. Then everything worked as I had hoped. Great value for a great product. I trust Anker to reliably protect and provide stability for all of my devices. Simple product, plug and play. Sleek, simple design
