Hello, when i was searching around for a urethane bushing kit for beetles up to 65, all i could find was the bugpack brand sold through a few different vendors. is this my only option?

thanks

Every urethane bushing I’ve ever put on my Ghia has eventually crumbled into little pieces.

Well, what other choice is there besides rubber? Rubber wont last much longer.

You won’t be able to buy everything as a complete kit, but Energy Suspension has quite a bit of VW stuff.

Well, in that case does anyone have a diagram of a chassis with the seals listed.

Thanks

The Bugpack urethane bushings in my buggy are 27 years old and have taken a pounding. Still fit tight like new.

The only place I would put them in a road car is the torsion bar bushings, you wont gain anything by replacing the bushings or bearings in the front beam.
