If you're tired of your VW tie rod ends breaking on your spindles or pitman arm then this is the solution for you! This handy heim joint adapter has a tapered end for the VW tie rod hole and gives you a straight 1/2 shaft on it allowing you to use a 5/8 heim joint with 1/2 inch misalignment spacers. The misalignment spacers allow you to get heavy angle on your tie rods without the heim joint binding.

1/4 Inch tall misalignments fit perfect.
3/8 Inch tall misalignments will fit, but don't leave enough room for the cotter pin at the top.

If you have a dune buggy or sand rail and you need to check to see what your front end requires use a 17mm and 19mm box end wrench. Put the wrench on each of the four nuts that hold the tie rod to the pitman arm and the tie rod to the spindle. If a 17mm wrench fits onto the nut, they are early model tie rod ends. If a 19mm wrench fits onto the nut, they are late model tie rod ends. It is important that you check all four tie rod ends because some vehicles have two early model and two late model ends.

Here is a picture showing how to measure a volkswagen tie rod end:
