Tech-53 Lower Steering Column Bearing Inner Race | 171-419-518A

The infamous no longer available, lower steering column inner race, for all A1 VW chassis cars VW P/N 171 419 518A.

The lower steering column bearing race usually is a fragile part after 20-30 years on the road. We have worked on manufacturing a quality replacement part, in order to keep our cars safe, and on the road.

This inner race is precisely CNC machined with bearing fit tolerances from hardened Chrome Moly steel (48-52 Rc).
The inner “double D” is molded from a direct OEM shape mold. Instead of brittle plastic, we use our own high durometer Polyurethane.
