radius rod
tie rod is the one on the end of the steering rack
try Mick at NW VW 07968 367046
you need to know year of manufacture and 2wd or 4wd and which side

Re: tie rod
If it's a late one, we have had them remanufactured.
I have a couple out in the wild at the moment on long term test, once I'm happy them will be on sale.
Cost - probably about half what VW charged.
