Steering & Components

Precise handling is the difference between a stressful drive and a confident one. In the air-cooled world, the steering system is often the most overlooked aspect of a restoration—yet it is the most critical for safety and driver feedback.

At Washburn’s Metal, we provide the essential components required to eliminate play and restore accuracy to your Volkswagen’s front end. This collection features everything from high-quality steering boxes and dampers to tie rod assemblies and rebuild hardware. Whether you are performing a stock refresh or fine-tuning a custom front-end setup, every part in this collection is vetted for structural integrity and reliable performance.

Collection Highlights:

  • Steering Gear: New and inspected steering boxes for Type 1 and Type 2 applications.

  • Precision Linkage: Tie rods, drag links, and ends designed for long-term durability.

  • Damping & Stability: High-quality steering dampers to reduce road vibration and feedback.

  • Hardware & Seals: The small but vital components required for a leak-free, tight-tolerance installation.

Don’t settle for a vague "bus-like" steering feel. Rebuild your system with the components trusted by professional fabricators.
