This is because there is a chance you will have a problem with the left side drive axle due to the fact it is shorter than the right one (and even shorter than both left and right on manual transaxle Vanagons). This very short AT-only left axle subjects the CV joints to a more severe angle. We have sold many sets of these springs for use on Vanagon with AT without complaint. But if your particular Vanagon happens to sit a bit higher, or the transaxle sits a little further to the left than average, or your shock absorber allows a little more down travel than the original ones—or a combination of all three—you might have an issue.

This is because there is a chance you will have a problem with the left side drive axle due to the fact it is shorter than the right one (and even shorter than both left and right on manual transaxle Vanagons). This very short AT-only left axle subjects the CV joints to a more severe angle. We have sold many sets of these springs for use on Vanagon with AT without complaint. But if your particular Vanagon happens to sit a bit higher, or the transaxle sits a little further to the left than average, or your shock absorber allows a little more down travel than the original ones—or a combination of all three—you might have an issue. The 930 CVs are capable of a greater angles and will solve the problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSatisfaction Guarantee\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 Day Satisfaction Guarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are confident that you will love these springs.

Setting up standard-size springs to dodge the Upper Control Arm (UCA) was always a finicky process. Even when done properly there were circumstances where the UCA just contacts the spring, which can make an annoying clunking sound.

If you are looking for the absolute no-holds-barred solution for your Vanagon, look no further!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bundle includes a pair of Fox front shocks with custom flat perches and a pair of our high-clearance front springs. These high clearance front springs have a smaller outer diameter to improve clearance near the upper ball joint, which better accommodates the long travel on the adjustable damping, remote reservoir shocks. The smaller diameter spring also gives you more room to work with your spring compressor for easier installation. But even with their narrowed shape, these springs maintain the custom dual spring rates that we've perfected to provide both an OEM-quality ride on-road and plenty of support off-road.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis long travel, Fox DSG, compression damping adjustable kit features low and high speed compression adjustment. From a full Westy camper to a light-weight tin-top, to anywhere along the Baja peninsula, you can choose the compression damping that suits your vehicle and the terrain you're traveling upon. The combination of damping options allows you to dial in your ride like never before. The level of stiffness you feel between one shock and the next is almost entirely a function of compression damping. Our Fox shocks are fully adjustable in that regard! In the softest position, they will feel about the same as our Fox 2.0 shocks. At the firmest setting, they feel about 30% stiffer. Whatever you like: soft like a marshmallow or on rails like a slot car—you don't have to settle for one or the other! You can experience both and everything in between! No matter how you set the compression damping, what they'll do better than any other shock is controlling the ride via much greater rebound damping—which is the resistance that a shock absorber provides after a bump is hit and the suspension compresses.

This nifty limiting strap kit allows you to install either of our (formerly) 4WD-only rear shocks on manual 2WD without fear of overextending the axles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advantage of our rear 2.0 and 2.5 Fox shocks previously suitable only for Syncro is that they are adjustable so you can dial them in as desired. Our 2.5 shock has more advanced adjustability than the 2.0 version, and it can absorb an order of magnitude more energy making it simply the ultimate, no-holds-barred shock for the Vanagon.  Check out the related items below for more info on our adjustable Fox 2.0 and 2.5 rear shocks to understand why they are superior to our regular non-adjustable rear Fox shocks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWait a minute, aren't 2WD axles the same length as Syncro?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes they are, but the Syncro engine and transaxle sit a full 2\" lower than a 2WD which allows for a longer-travel rear shock. If you install a longer shock on a 2WD, your CV joints will bind at full droop. No bueno!
