1949-1960 Spring Plate Bushings 2 Round and 2 Knobby Red Urethane 1 7/8 ID

Re-designed soft spring plate grommets replace old deteriorated rubber pieces that allow too much "slop" in suspensions. Whether off-roading, drag-racing, canyon carving or just running down the highway, these Air Cooled VW Bushings make your car feel more solid and planted, reducing wander and shimmy.

Kit includes two 1 7/8" I.D. Round Type Grommets and two Knobby Type 1 7/8" Grommets.

Tech Note: Special compound reduces squeaking but we highly recommend the use of Polyurethane Bushing Grease for added longevity and silent operation.
