Genuine MQB Ball Stud – 06E103164
This genuine OEM ball stud is used across MQB-platform vehicles to secure factory covers and small brackets that use a ball-and-socket fixing. It replaces worn, missing, or corroded studs and restores a solid, rattle-free fit.
A ball stud is a small threaded post with a rounded head. A matching socket or clip snaps onto the ball, making a quick, secure mounting point in the engine bay.
