Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

so I found a pair of these in the back of one of the westy cabinets. I guess the PO bought then but never got the time to install them.
They say "VW syncro" and "LCA bushing" on them. I would like to install these today but don't know much about them besides lathering them with grease. Other kits that I've seen come with washers. Are some special washers needed to install them? What else could you tell me about these....

Dead easy to fit, the biggest part is getting the old ones out.

All original fixings are used. Check out my Bluestar thread for info.

Why do some of the kits come with extra washers?

I've been wondering the same thing about the extra washers. If I skip the stainless sleeve and six washers, the price is 60% less.

Burley and Van Cafe
vs.
Whiteline

Getting ready to replace mine, and wondering if the extra expense is necessary.
