Performance & Fitment

• • Models: VW Type 1 (Beetle), Type 3, and Karmann Ghia

  • Suspension Type: Compatible with both IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) and Swing Axle configurations.

  • Position: Fits the inner or outer torsion housing (check your specific year/model requirements for quantity).

  • Adjustability: Universally compatible with both standard (OEM) and aftermarket adjustable spring plates.

  • Function: Isolates the torsion bar and spring plate from the chassis, preventing suspension bind and reducing road vibration transfer.

Premium Construction

• • "Knobby" Surface Design: The distinct raised-knob profile is engineered to provide a superior, "locked-in" fit within the housing. This design allows for better compression management and prevents the bushing from spinning or shifting under extreme cornering loads.

  • High-Quality Rubber Compound: Unlike rigid polyurethane that can squeak and transmit harsh vibrations, this high-quality rubber offers the perfect balance of flexibility and durability, mimicking the factory ride quality with increased longevity.

  • Durability: Engineered to resist environmental degradation from oil, grease, and road salt, ensuring your suspension stays quiet and aligned through years of use.

  • Load Rating: Designed to withstand the constant torsional stress of a lowered or modified VW without collapsing or tearing.

🛠️ Installation & Maintenance Notes

Proper bushing installation is the difference between a quiet car and a squeaky one:

• ❌ Lubrication Warning: Use only silicone-based grease or specialized rubber lubricant during installation. Avoid petroleum-based grease (like standard chassis grease), as it will cause the rubber compound to swell, soften, and eventually disintegrate.

• ❌ Inspection Requirement: If your rear tires are showing uneven wear or the rear end "wanders" during lane changes, your spring plate grommets are likely compressed or cracked. Replacing these is a critical first step in a rear-end alignment.

• ❌ Correct Orientation: Ensure the "knobby" side is seated correctly into the corresponding notches in your spring plate cover or housing to prevent premature wear.

• ❌ Matching Sets: It is highly recommended to replace all four grommets (two inner, two outer) at the same time to ensure equal ride height and consistent handling across the rear axle.
