Will this lower rear spring pad fit my Vanagon or Eurovan?

Yes! This rear spring pad is designed to fit all 1980-1991 Vanagons and all 1993-2003 Eurovans that are still running their original style rear springs. It works with 2WD and 4WD models, and regardless of transmission or trim level like Campmobile or Westfalia.

Do I really need this spring pad, especially if I have aftermarket springs?

If you have aftermarket rear springs (like our GoWesty springs), you actually don't need these pads. Aftermarket springs use stiffer, non-tapered wire ends that can wear through plastic pads when the suspension is at full droop. While it's not harmful to use them with aftermarket springs, they aren't necessary for those setups.

What is this rear spring pad made of, and where exactly does it go?

This spring pad is made from a durable yet flexible polyurethane material. It sits right in between your rear coil spring and the trailing arm of your Vanagon or Eurovan suspension. Its job is to cushion the spring and prevent noise and wear.

My Eurovan original spring pad was thicker. Will this aftermarket one still work?

You're right, the original Eurovan pads were a bit thicker. However, this aftermarket polyurethane rear spring pad is designed to function correctly and provide the necessary support and cushioning. It's a great replacement option for your Eurovan, ensuring proper fit and performance for your rear suspension.

These replacement lower spring isolation pads sit between the rear spring and the trailing arm. They are manufactured from durable 3mm polyurethane. Sold individually. Two required per vehicle.

Fits: All 1980-91 Vanagon and all 1993-03 Eurovan with original springs. (Please note that the original Eurovan pad was slightly thicker, but this aftermarket option will work just fine!)

Note: These lower pads are not required for aftermarket coil springs, including GoWesty springs. Aftermarket springs are not tapered to a smaller wire diameter at the end of the spring like the original design. The larger diameter, stiffer wire will wear a hole through any plastic pad at the spot where the coil rubs against the pad at full droop. It does not hurt to run these pads, but they are not necessary.

Great replacement, just funny that the spring plates do not have the recess to match the spring like the originals. not sure now that these are that important.
