burgard ball joints

[johnnynonails]

hi all,ive left a post in the burgard forum,but i dont know how often that gets looked at.
some one asked what ball joints they used for there a arms,and they replied volkswagon,i just want to know what model there from,and what year.as im in the uk,shipping ball joint here would be just to expensive,so i thought if i had the model,i could trace some over here at a auto parts shop,if any one has any thoughts i'd be glad to hear them. many thanks john

yes sorry,slip of the tongue,thanks.74 beetle does it have to be the right hand side ?

[extremetrucker]

i believe the right hand side had the right hand thread, the part number should have the letters RH or at leas R in them, and that is the "code" for right hand thread

[johnnynonails]

so the beetle tie rods are handed,so if i order 4 right hand tie rods,they will do both sides of my a arms,upper and lower.thanks john

just the ends, you dont need the whole tie rod assembly. im sure someone can verify this, but thats what i ordered one time, otherwise you can call laeger, lonestar, houser, jd, pretty much everyones older styles all used this joint, a 14mm shank
