• Restoration of proper toe control after steering service

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle application before installation, since this part is specific to front inner steering positions on supported Volkswagen and Audi models such as the Jetta, Golf, GTI, and A3. Inspect related steering components, then align the front end after replacement to restore correct steering geometry.
