Powerflex suspension bushes for the Volkswagen T25/T3 Type 2 (Vanagon) All Petrol 1.6, 1.9, 2.0 Automatic Models are polyurethane replacements for the original rubber bushes. They are available in Road Series and Heritage Collection, with a fitting diagram showing every bush position and part number.
Overview
Rubber suspension bushes soften, split and let the suspension move out of position as they age. Powerflex polyurethane bushes control that unwanted flex, which keeps the Volkswagen T25/T3 Type 2 (Vanagon) All Petrol 1.6, 1.9, 2.0 Automatic Models's suspension geometry where it should be. Powerflex says this prolongs tyre life, improves performance and increases safety on the road. Every bush is made in-house by Powerflex, a UK manufacturer formed in 1996.
