Positioned at the outermost point of the front lower track control arm, its primary function is to serve as the critical pivoting connection point between the suspension control arm and the front wheel bearing housing (steering knuckle). Engineered to handle high dynamic vertical and horizontal loads, it allows the wheel assembly to pivot smoothly during steering inputs and articulate freely over changing road surfaces, maintaining precise wheel alignment and predictable vehicle handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e RIDEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2462S0035\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4059191136452\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Axle, Lower Left or Right (Interchangeable across both passenger and driver sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Thread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e M12 x 1.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCone Pitch \/ Taper Size [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Hole Circle Diameter [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forged steel housing with a high-durability polymer ball socket seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplementary Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 1x locking nut and 3x mounting bolts with a clamping plate for seamless attachment to the sheet-metal control arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 19mm taper ball joint is a fundamental steering and suspension component engineered specifically for second- and third-generation Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars and multi-purpose utility platforms spanning the 1980s through the early 2000s:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCar Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCompatible Engines \/ Variants\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eEngine Power (hp \/ kW)\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eYear of Manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf II (19E, 1G1) \/ Jetta II (19E)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.3 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.6 D \/ 1.6 TD \/ 1.8 \/ 1.8 GTI \/ 1.8 GTI 16V \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Note: Fits models from August 1987 onwards)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e54 - 139 hp \/ 40 - 102 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e08\/1987 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf III (1H1) \/ Vento (1H2) \/ Variant Estate\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.4 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 2.0 \/ 1.9 D \/ 1.9 TD \/ 1.9 TDI \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Standard suspension tracks;
