Volkswagen 0CS311126A Inner Ring

Description

This Inner Ring is a critical component within the ball joint assembly, enabling smooth and precise steering. It is used in the suspension and steering systems of Volkswagen vehicles. This part provides exceptional durability and contributes to overall vehicle stability. It measures 27 x 42 x 42 mm and carries the Volkswagen MPN 0CS311126A.

Key Features & Benefits

The inner ring is basically the part of the ball joint that fits directly onto your control arm. It’s a socket, really, that the ball stud from your steering knuckle fits into. It allows for pivoting motion—up and down, and side to side—so your suspension can move as the wheels go over bumps and as you steer. It's all about controlled movement, keeping things aligned. Think of it as a key connection point in your front suspension. It's what ties your steering and suspension together, allowing the wheel to move up and down while still keeping it located correctly. The inner ring works with the ball stud and the outer tie rod end to create that whole steering and suspension geometry. It's not something you see directly, it's all tucked away inside the joint.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s important because if this ring wears out or gets damaged, you’ll get play in your steering and suspension. You’ll notice if it's bad because you’ll likely feel vibrations in your steering wheel, maybe wandering, and it’ll make alignment really difficult to maintain. It acts like a shield, protecting the critical connection points. If it fails, it can lead to bigger problems, even affecting your tire wear and potentially compromising steering control. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you're looking to get one, and it's something you definitely want to keep an eye on as part of your regular maintenance.
