Upgrade your front suspension with this urethane beam bush kit for ball joint front axles, as fitted to VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias from 1965 onward. This good quality kit is a high-performance replacement for the factory-fitted inner and outer torsion arm bearings and seals, offering improved durability, reduced flex, and sharper steering response.
The urethane construction provides superior resistance to wear, cracking, and deformation compared to the original rubber components, making it ideal for both road and off-road use. Whether you`re restoring a classic Beetle or building a Baja or Buggy, this kit will improve front-end precision and handling.
This is a complete set of four bushes, enough for one front axle beam.
Key Features:
Urethane upgrade for improved steering response and longevity
Replaces both inner and outer torsion arm bearings and seals
Fits all ball joint front axle beams from 1965 onwards
Ideal for street and off-road applications
Supplied as a set of 4 – one complete beam
