My old radius rod spacer sleeves are pretty rusty. Are these GoWesty stainless steel ones a good replacement?

Absolutely! The original radius rod spacer sleeves were prone to trapping moisture and rusting out. We developed these out of durable stainless steel to be a long-lasting replacement. They're designed to fit perfectly and prevent that same rust issue, giving you peace of mind on your front-end rebuild.

I'm rebuilding my Vanagon's front end. How many of these radius rod spacer sleeves do I need?

You'll need two of these spacer sleeves per vehicle to properly complete your front-end rebuild. They are sold individually, so be sure to add two to your cart to ensure you have everything needed.

Will these stainless steel radius rod spacer sleeves fit my 1987 Vanagon 2WD?

Yes, these radius rod spacer sleeves are designed to fit all Vanagon models from 1980 through 1991, including your 1987 2WD. They work with both 2WD and 4WD, and various models like Weekenders and Campmobiles, making them a versatile upgrade for your front suspension.

Are these stainless steel spacers worth the upgrade over the stock ones?

Definitely! The original sleeves often rusted through, causing issues. By upgrading to our stainless steel radius rod spacer, you're investing in a component that won't rust and will last much longer. Customers often mention the great quality and that they're a must-have for any suspension work, saving you potential headaches down the road.

Cette petite bague d’espacement en métal pour la biellette de rayon avait tendance à retenir l’humidité et à rouiller. Ce n’était pas un problème majeur tant qu’elle était encore disponible chez VW (à 19 $ la pièce), mais lorsqu’elle est devenue obsolète, nous avons décidé de fabriquer les nôtres en acier inoxydable. L’acier inoxydable, quelle idée géniale ! Si vous reconditionnez votre train avant, prenez-en une paire et vous n’aurez plus à vous en soucier.

Vendue à l’unité. Deux nécessaires par véhicule.

OK don't forget these

I ordered the front suspension kit and didn't realize it didn't come with these. Mine were worn right down (there was a hole in one) and they were rusted. I was more than happy to get the stainless steel ones that worked great.
