Will these GoWesty Eccentric Washers fit my 1989 4WD Vanagon's upper control arms for alignment adjustments?

These GoWesty stainless steel Eccentric Washers are designed as direct replacements for the original alignment adjustment washers on both 2WD and 4WD Vanagons. While some original 4WD models may have used varied thicknesses, these 4mm washers will perfectly fit all four locations on your upper control arms, especially when paired with GoWesty control arm bushings for a complete upgrade.

What are the advantages of using GoWesty's stainless steel Eccentric Washers over the original ones?

The primary benefit is superior durability and rust prevention. Original washers can corrode and seize, hindering alignment adjustments. Our GoWesty Eccentric Washers are precision-made from stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring smooth and effective alignment adjustments for years to come.

How many Eccentric Washers do I need for my Vanagon, as this product is sold as a pack of four?

This pack of four GoWesty Eccentric Washers is exactly what you need. Your Vanagon has two upper control arms, and each arm utilizes two of these eccentric washers for alignment purposes. Therefore, a total of four washers are required for the entire vehicle, accommodating both 2WD and 4WD models.

Can these Eccentric Washers help improve my Vanagon's wheel alignment after installing new suspension components?

Absolutely. Installing new GoWesty Eccentric Washers is highly recommended when refreshing your suspension, especially after installing new bushings. These washers are key components for adjusting the upper control arm's position to achieve precise camber angles, ensuring you can dial in your alignment perfectly.

GoWesty stainless steel upper control arm eccentric washer. 4mm thick. Sold in packs of four.

There are two eccentric washers on each upper control of all Vanagons, 2WD and 4WD (Syncro) four washers total per vehicle. These eccentric washers are used to move the upper control arm in/out during alignment. This GoWesty laser-cut and precision-ground upper control arm eccentric washers are identical to the original VW ones, except they are made of stainless steel so they will not rust like the originals often do.

Fitment note: The eccentric washers originally fitted to 4WD Vanagons may not all be 4mm thick. They may have one or more washers that are thicker. So, this washer may not replace all of the washers on a 4WD model. However, if you replace your original upper control arm bushings with a set of GoWesty Upper Control Arm Bushings, this washer will fit all four locations, 2WD or 4WD, and is a highly recommended upgrade.

Great replicas

These are spot on with the factory ones. I attached a pic so you can see the difference.

Nice washer but it could be smoother on the out side edge. It is roughly stamped and the eccentric bearing surface is not flat or consistent.

Good quality.

This is my second set

This is my second set. I replaced the front upper control arm bushing and replaced the old eccentric washers and they worked perfectly. I bought another vanagon and will do the same job. They are machined well.

Fresh

Didn't necessarily need, but I am going new as I am replacing the bushings

Perfect fit!

These stainless steel eccentric washers are great! Unlike some others I have seen these fit perfectly and did not need to be filed down to go over the upper control arm bolt.
