What is this part called?
Steering Box Input Shaft (Worm Shaft) Oil Seal
What does this part do on a VW?
This oil seal fits at the steering box input (worm) shaft and helps retain lubricant inside the steering box while preventing leaks. A worn seal can allow oil/grease to escape, which accelerates internal wear and can lead to excess steering play. Replacing it helps keep the steering box properly lubricated for smooth, consistent steering.
