1950-1960 Spring Plate Bushings Knobby Soft Urethane 1 7/8 ID
These soft urethane spring plate bushings replace worn rubber originals to tighten up your air-cooled VW's rear suspension, cutting the wander and shimmy that come with age.
These re-designed soft urethane spring plate bushings upgrade the rear suspension on your 1950–1960 air-cooled VW. They replace the old, deteriorated rubber pieces that let too much slop creep into the suspension, restoring a tighter, more controlled feel at the spring plates.
Whether you are off-roading, drag racing, canyon carving, or just running down the highway, these bushings make the car feel more solid and planted, reducing the wander and shimmy that worn rubber allows. The soft urethane formulation firms things up without the harsh ride of a hard race bushing.
