I'm looking to upgrade the front beam on my 56 bug. Can I use my original right side tie rod with a new tie rod end designed to hold a steering damper? Will the measurements be s the same or will I have to get a whole new tie rod assy? Thx PS I have a new beam which will hold the damper.

If your can unscrew your tie rod end, think the left side tie rod on pre 60s cars were non adjustble but the right were adjustable, then looks like you can. Or at least that is how it appears on the ACN site:http://www.aircooled.net/new-bin/viewproductdetail.php?keyword2=SST0004&cartid=0417200763565262 Sure some one else with a pre 60 beetle will chime in but you can also call or email John at ACN and he should be able to tell you.

Yes. So long as you have the two mounts (beam & tierod) to attach the dampner.
