EMPI Replacement Steering Box for Standard VW Beetle and Type 3

This new steering gearbox replaces the worm-and-roller steering box on air-cooled VW applications. EMPI specifies Brazilian manufacture and new components for the unit. Match the input coupling, beam mounting and pitman arm to your steering setup, particularly on an earlier car.
