"I recently purchased 2 steering boxes, a link pin offset tool, a slickspanner and a steering box coupler assembly for my 63 and 65 Bugs and I am happy with each purchase. Excellent customer service and my items were all shipped out within a day of me making a purchase."

— JDExcellent Service.

"Just received and installed both the Probuilt steering box and trailing arm kit. Note prior to the installation our 1967 beetle was nearly impossible to drive, we had purchased a steering box from another parts company and had the ball joints replaced - resulting in a unsatisfactory driving experience. So we chose to purchase the Probuilt steering box and Probuilt trailing arm kit. What an improvement, 100% better, the car drives like new money... This demonstrated the old saying, you get what you pay for, in this case the Probuilt steering box and trailing arm are an example of first time quality and worth the money. Thanks Airkewld. I would highly recommend both of these products."

Pete Skiba, Founder of Airkewld

"I founded Airkewld in 2002 because what was available in the market didn't meet my standard. 36,000 beams later, the standard hasn't moved — every part still gets built like it's going on my own car. When you buy from us, you're not a customer. You're family, for as long as we exist."

— Pete Skiba, Founder
