FAQs

What vehicles is the Febi 49046 Steering Rod Assembly compatible with?

This assembly is designed for VW Golf Mk6, Mk7 (LHD Only Right), VW Tiguan (2007-2018), VW Passat (362, 365 models, 2010-2015 Right), and SEAT Alhambra (710 LHD Only Right). Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle details.

What does 'LHD Only Right' mean?

LHD stands for Left-Hand Drive. 'LHD Only Right' indicates that this specific part is designed for the right side of the vehicle, but only fits in vehicles manufactured with the steering wheel on the left side (common in North America and Europe).

What components are included in this assembly?

The Febi 49046 kit includes a Febi Tie Rod End (37594), a Febi Inner Tie Rod (26045), a Febi Steering Bellow (31054), and two Febi Clamping Clips (38762 and 38).

Do I need to perform a wheel alignment after installing this part?

Yes, a professional wheel alignment is strongly recommended after replacing any steering component, including a steering rod assembly, to ensure proper vehicle handling and prevent premature tire wear.

How do I check if this part will fit my car?

You should contact the seller or manufacturer with your vehicle's specific year, model, and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

What is the length of this steering rod assembly?

The length of the Febi 49046 Steering Rod Assembly is 448 mm.

Is this part a direct replacement for the original equipment?

Febi aims for OE quality, meaning this part is designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part for your vehicle. However, always confirm fitment for your exact model.

Troubleshooting

Steering feels loose or imprecise after installation.

Verify that all connections are securely tightened to the correct torque specifications. Ensure the correct part was installed for the vehicle model and that a wheel alignment was performed post-installation.

New part does not fit the steering knuckle or tie rod.

Double-check that the part number (49046) and vehicle details were correctly matched. Confirm LHD fitment if applicable. Contact the supplier with compatibility concerns.

Noise from the steering system (e.g., clunking, grinding).

Ensure the steering bellow is properly sealed and undamaged. If the bellow is compromised, debris may have entered the joint, requiring replacement of the assembly. Check other steering components for wear.

Uneven tire wear or pulling to one side.

This often indicates the need for a wheel alignment. Ensure the steering alignment was correctly set after the new rod assembly was installed.

  • Designed for specific VW and SEAT models, ensuring proper function when compatible.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting performance.

Cons

  • Requires careful compatibility check with the vehicle before purchase.

  • Specific fitment may exclude some years or sub-models within the listed vehicle ranges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify compatibility. Contact the supplier with your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and exact model details to ensure this part fits your specific application. Pay close attention to LHD (Left-Hand Drive) only requirements for certain models.

Installation: Installation of a steering rod assembly should be performed by a qualified mechanic. It typically involves lifting the vehicle, removing the wheel, disconnecting the old assembly, and installing the new one. Ensure all nuts and clamps are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. A wheel alignment is highly recommended after replacement to ensure proper tire wear and handling.

Care: This component is part of the sealed steering system and generally requires no user maintenance. However, regular inspections of the steering bellow for tears or leaks are advised. If the bellow is damaged, the internal joint can be exposed to contaminants, leading to premature failure. Clean any dirt or debris from the area during routine vehicle checks.
