VW ID.3 ID.4 / Audi Q4 e-tron 2019–2024 Steering Tie Rod Outer Ball Joint 1EA423811B

Product overview

Sharp, predictable steering depends on tight joints between the rack and the wheels. This replacement steering tie rod outer ball joint is listed for Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 models and the Audi Q4 e-tron range, with OE-reference numbers 1EA423811B, 1EA423811BS1 and 1ED423811A. If your car has developed a clunk when turning, wanders on the motorway or fails a roadworthy or WOF inspection for steering play, a worn tie rod end may be the cause.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment table includes 22 variants:

• VW ID.3 from 2019: 1st, Pure, Pro, Pro S, GTX and GTX Performance (E11/E12)
• VW ID.4 from 2020: Pure, Pure Performance, Performance and GTX
• Audi Q4 e-tron from 2021: 35, 40, 45 quattro, 50 quattro
• Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron from 2021: 35, 40, 50 quattro

Key features

• New outer tie rod ball joint for MEB-platform electric vehicles
• Listed for both left- and right-hand positions
• Built to OE-reference dimensions for direct replacement
• Sold individually so you can replace one side or both

Fitting new joints on both sides at the same time helps keep steering feel even from left to right.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Before removal, mark or measure the position of the old tie rod end on the inner rod so toe can be roughly preserved. Use a suitable ball joint splitter rather than hammering the knuckle. As this is a steering component, fitting by a qualified technician and a full wheel alignment afterwards are strongly recommended.
