ECObuilt OEM Steering Gear Box | Raw | 1962-1977 Classic VW Type 1 181 3 Beetle Ghia Thing

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - "Your steering deserves better—OEM ECObuilt Boxes replace failure-prone aftermarket units with lifetime reliability and true VW quality." - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The most overlooked component in the Classic Volkswagen drivetrain is the steering box—yet it contributes to nearly 40% of steering play. Most assume that adjusting the box alone will cure “loose steering,” but the truth is, the steering box is only one piece of the puzzle. Worn connections, tired tie rods, weak ball joints, and improperly torqued hardware all play a role.

That’s why the PRO’s created the ECObuilt OEM Steering Gear Box—a factory-quality, fully rebuilt solution that restores precision and safety to your steering system.

What’s Included

Every ECObuilt box is carefully inspected, reconditioned, and assembled with premium OEM components:

• OEM VW steering box case & cap

• OEM audited worm gear & roller shaft

• OEM worm adjuster & jam nut

• NOS roller bearings

• New seals & stainless hardware

• Greaseable zerks installed

• Pre-filled with Corn Head Grease (lifetime lubrication)

Why Upgrade to ECObuilt?

Most aftermarket boxes on the market are plagued with poor tolerances, soft gears, and inconsistent quality. The ECObuilt OEM box eliminates those weak points with:
✔ Sharper worm gear serrations for secure clamping
✔ Greaseable zerks for lifetime serviceability
✔ Pre-filled with Corn Head Grease—no maintenance required
✔ Factory-level precision, tested and adjusted by the PRO’s

How It’s Made

Each box undergoes a complete teardown, cleaning, inspection, and rebuild process:

• Case and components are prepped, sanded, and corrected for flaws

• Worm gear and roller shaft are audited, reconditioned, and tested

• New seals, hardware, and NOS bearings are installed

• Assembly is packed with Corn Head Grease

• Each unit is bench-tested and adjusted to Airkewld specs

The result? A steering box that feels like your VW just rolled off the showroom floor.

Recommended Add-Ons

• 1962–1968 pitman/drop arm (if upgrading from a pre-’61 box)

• OEM PRObuilt Rag Joint for a fresh, reliable connection

• Full steering system audit (tie rods, dampener, control arms, ball joints)

Kewl Features

• Built on a genuine VW OEM box—never aftermarket

• Ready to bolt in, no adjustment needed

• Lifetime grease fill (no service required)

• Assembled in the USA by the PRO’s

FAQ

Do I need to fill this box with grease?
No. It comes pre-filled with the correct amount of Corn Head Grease.

Can I adjust the play if my steering feels loose?
Not until you’ve audited the ENTIRE steering system. Play usually comes from other worn components—not the box itself.

What if I have a core?
If it’s OEM VW (not TRW, Ampri, or aftermarket), the PRO’s want it. Check our Core Parts Program for details.

Eliminate uncertainty, restore confidence, and upgrade your VW with a true OEM steering box that will never need service again.
