SPRING PLATES, SWING AXLE

Precision Fit for Every Torsion Configuration Because Volkswagen used various torsion bar lengths throughout production, choosing the correct spring plate is vital for a proper mechanical fit:

• Multiple Length Options: We stock heavy-duty and stock-style plates for the three standard torsion bar lengths: 21-3/4", 24-11/16", and 26-9/16". Whether your torsion housing has a solid cap or one with a protruding stub, we have the specific plate geometry required to clear your chassis.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: For performance street machines and off-road buggies, our Heavy-Duty Spring Plates from EMPI and Sway-A-Way offer increased thickness and reinforced collars. These plates are designed to resist the twisting forces of high-torque engines and the high-impact stresses of rugged terrain.

• Essential Hardware & Spacers: A successful installation often requires more than just the plates. We carry spring plate cover spacers and high-durometer urethane or rubber bushings to ensure your suspension pivots smoothly and stays quiet.

Restoring Rear End Stability New spring plates do more than just replace rusty metal; they restore the correct rear-end geometry of your vehicle. By providing a rigid, square mounting point for your axle tubes, you ensure your tires track correctly and wear evenly. Sourced from the most trusted names in the air-cooled industry, our plates feature high-quality finishes to resist rust and provide a clean, professional look under your car.
