It doesn't look like anything that I've seen on a cabby.

I know its the part that holds the front wheel hub/bearings.
The upper two holts bolt to the shock tower.
the left hole bolts to the tie rod.
The 'tangs' are where the brake calipers fit.

Just can't tell if its from a cabby or cabrio/jetta.

I've never had to touch mine, so...

Also, this is what the Mk3 version looks like:



It's a tad different.

The Mk1 version, FWIW, is now NLA.

Nope, I had misjudged the size, I thought it was something that was about 5" tall. From Kams picture it was obvious.

I knew what it was for...just couldn't think of the name to call it.........

[mk3jetta-man]

its off a 92 cabriolet and i kno its also called the steering knuckle i just wanted the factory name lol

[rabbitnothopper]

sorry, mk1 (1992 cabriolet) spindles look like this


and are the same for all mk1





these are also mine


so your spindles if you got them from a 92 cabriolet, are not the stock spindles/steering knuckles.
