Audi VW Steering Shaft - Genuine Audi VW 1EB419753J

Product Information

A steering shaft is a crucial part of the steering system that connects the steering wheel to the steering gearbox or rack-and-pinion assembly. It transfers the driver’s input into mechanical movement, allowing the front wheels to turn accurately. Many steering shafts include universal joints or couplings to accommodate movement and alignment between components. A worn or failing steering shaft can compromise handling and safety if not addressed promptly.

• Clunking or knocking noises when turning the steering wheel.
• Excessive play or looseness in the steering, reducing precision.
• Difficulty steering or stiffness, often due to worn universal joints or binding in the shaft.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
