Sway-A-Way Spring Plate Grommet — Knobby Rubber Bushing, 1-7/8\" ID | VW Type 1, 3 (SAW-3011)

SKU: 3011

Restore your classic Volkswagen's suspension geometry and eliminate metal-on-metal chatter with this high-performance "Knobby" Spring Plate Grommet from Sway-A-Way. Specifically designed for the high-friction environment of the VW rear torsion housing, these grommets serve as the critical interface between your spring plates and the chassis. Whether you are running a stock daily driver or an off-road rail with adjustable plates, these bushings provide the necessary dampening and alignment stability for a smooth, predictable ride.

Premium Construction
