Technical details
- Original part number: N-107-658-01 / N10765801.
- Catalog nominal size: M8 × 30.
- Collared cylindrical head with internal multi-spline drive, as identified in the genuine-part catalog.
- Upper steering-column mounting assignment on the verified applications below.
- Separate from the lower steering-column screw N-010-335-13.
- Supplied as one bolt. No bracket, steering column or other attachment hardware is included.
Common reasons to replace
Replacement may be required during steering-column service or when the original bolt has damaged threads, a worn drive recess, corrosion or an impaired head bearing surface. The 2022 RS3 steering-column catalog specifically marks this fastener as not reusable after removal.
Movement or noise around the steering column calls for inspection of the complete mounting arrangement. A new bolt alone will not correct a damaged bracket, worn column component or stripped receiving thread. Confirm the cause and the correct fastener position before ordering.
Installation and service notes
Match the original part number and the vehicle-specific mounting diagram. Nominal thread diameter and length alone do not establish interchangeability with other hardware. Use the correctly fitting internal-drive tool, support the column as required and inspect the receiving threads and mating surfaces.
Follow the factory procedure for tightening and fastener replacement. Replace this bolt after removal on the 2022 RS3 application identified below, and check the applicable repair instructions for other mounting assignments. Use the specified tightening sequence and torque for the exact vehicle and connection; no universal steering-column torque applies to every use of this part number.
