T25 Radius Rod Bush Bundle Kit

Replacement metal spacer sleeve for the front suspension radius rod bush fitted to Volkswagen Type 25 (T3) models. This sleeve fits through the centre of the radius rod rubber mounting bush and provides the correct support and clamping surface when the suspension assembly is tightened.

Over time these sleeves can become corroded, worn or damaged during bush replacement. A worn sleeve can lead to excessive movement in the suspension mounting, poor handling, knocking noises and premature bush wear. Replacing the sleeve when renewing the radius rod bushes helps restore correct suspension geometry and ensures the bush operates as intended.

Manufactured to the original dimensions for a precise fit and reliable operation.

This replacement rubber bush is designed to fit the front or inner end of the radius arm (also known as the track control arm) on all VW Type 25 (T3) Buses from 1979 to 1992. Located on the lower wishbone, this bush plays a crucial role in maintaining proper suspension geometry, absorbing road vibrations, and ensuring a smooth, stable ride.

Over time, the original bushes can deteriorate due to age, weather, and general wear—leading to vague steering response, clunking noises, or uneven tyre wear. This quality rubber reproduction restores the original performance and handling characteristics of your Type 25 by providing the correct amount of flex and support in the suspension system.

Suitable for fitment to either the left or right-hand side, this bush is ideal for maintenance or during a full front suspension rebuild. For best results, consider replacing bushes in pairs.

This replacement rubber bush is designed for the rear or outer end of the radius arm on the track control arm (lower wishbone) of all VW Type 25 (T3) Buses from 1979 to 1992. Installed on the front suspension, this bush helps absorb shocks and maintain accurate alignment between the wheel and chassis, crucial for safe handling and ride comfort.

Located at the outermost point of the radius arm, this bush often takes the brunt of road forces and can wear out over time. Symptoms of a worn bush include vague steering, excessive play in the suspension, clunking noises, and uneven tire wear. Replacing it with this good quality reproduction rubber bush restores suspension firmness, reduces road noise, and improves overall vehicle control.

This bush fits either the left or right-hand side and is sold individually. For best results, it`s recommended to replace both sides simultaneously when performing a suspension overhaul.

This replacement radius rod washer is designed for use on the VW Type 25 (T3) Bus, also known as the T25 or Vanagon in some markets.

Made from high-strength steel and manufactured to original dimensions, this washer is a direct-fit replacement that ensures proper clamping force and longevity under suspension loads. These washers are subject to wear, corrosion, or damage over time—especially when bushings are replaced or suspension work is carried out.

Sold individually, with two washers required per rod, this part is an affordable yet essential component when servicing or rebuilding your Type 25’s front suspension system.
