What material are these bushings made from?

These bushings are made from Energy Suspension's proprietary Hyper-Flex polyurethane. This material is chosen for its durability and ability to provide a firmer suspension feel compared to stock rubber.

What is the difference between the two bushing sizes included?

The set includes two bushings with a 1.75-inch inner diameter and two with a 1 7/8-inch inner diameter. These different sizes are intended to accommodate variations in the spring plate design across the 1954-1968 Volkswagen Beetle models.

What is the benefit of replacing stock rubber bushings with polyurethane?

Replacing old rubber bushings with polyurethane can lead to improved suspension response and a more solid feel. Polyurethane resists degradation from road contaminants and temperature changes better than rubber, offering a more consistent performance over time.

Product Details

If you're working on the rear suspension of your 1954-1968 Volkswagen Beetle, this rear spring plate bushing set from Energy Suspension is a solid option. These bushings replace the stock rubber components in the swing axle suspension, helping to firm up the rear end and improve handling response. They are specifically designed for the air-cooled Beetle models from this era.

Crafted from Energy Suspension's proprietary Hyper-Flex polyurethane, these bushings are built to last. Polyurethane is known for its durability and resistance to the elements, offering a more consistent feel than aging rubber. This set includes bushings with two different inner diameters, 1.75 inches and 1 7/8 inches, to ensure a proper fit for your specific application. Replacing worn-out bushings can make a notable difference in how your Beetle handles, reducing unwanted flex and providing a more connected feel to the road.
