Due to the construction of the front axle of the Volkswagen Beetle and Karmann Ghia up to model year 1965 and of the VW Bus up to model year 1979, it is necessary to limit the suspension travel in case of too much mouvement.
In case of off-road use or heavy loads, the final stop will be reached more quickly. If you use the original rubber, it will struggle, so a better alternative is needed, a rubber that can absorb higher forces without tearing spontaneously.
These urethane rubbers are the solution. Urethane is a rigid and virtually indestructible material, ideal for heavy duty applications.
Urethane is rigid and will not snap into the ball on its own. Use glycerin (listed in the options tab) to make assembly easier.
