1950–1979 VW Bus Swing Axle Spring Plate Bushing – 2in ID 211511245A - OEM Number(s) (211-511-245-A)

Restore handling, ride quality, and safety with this round rubber spring plate bushing for your Volkswagen Bus rear suspension. Designed for swing axle and Bay Window configurations, this 2-inch inner diameter bushing helps isolate the spring plate from the chassis while maintaining alignment during suspension travel. A must-replace component during any rear suspension rebuild.

Features
• Round rubber bushing for swing axle or IRS setups
• 2" inner diameter – fits inner or outer spring plate locations
• Durable rubber construction absorbs road vibration
• OEM-style replacement – no modifications required
• 4 required per Bus – sold individually

Fits
• Bus 1950–1979 (Type 2) – Swing Axle and Bay Window configurations

Because Details Matter
A worn rear spring plate bushing can cause loose handling, squeaking, or clunking from the rear end. Replacing these critical suspension components ensures proper geometry and a smoother ride—whether you're restoring a show-stopper or maintaining your daily driver.
