Will this swivel seat bushing set stop my front camper seats from rocking?

Yes, these bushings are specifically designed to remedy the issue of front swivel seats rocking back and forth, providing a more stable and secure feel while you're camping.

Which Vanagon models are compatible with this kit?

This kit fits mid-1984 and later Vanagon Westfalias (including Campmobile models). Please note that models earlier than mid-1984 did not have these bushings present and are not compatible.

What exactly is included in the bushing set?

Each set contains enough parts for ONE seat: four angled bushings for the base and four snap-in bushings that press into the rotating swivel plate.

Why are these made of plastic instead of metal?

These are crafted in the USA as a reproduction of the original VW part. Durable, slippery plastic is used specifically to ensure a smooth swiveling operation of the seat.

You love that your front camper seats swivel, right? But having them rock back and forth is simply no bueno. The super-specialized plastic bushings that remedy this issue have been obsolete for years... until now. These are crafted right here in the USA, and we designed them to last for a long, long time. Fits mid-1984 and later Vanagon Westfalias (the earlier models did not have these bushings present).

This set includes enough bushings for ONE seat:
• (4) angled bushings for the base
• (4) snap-in bushings that press into the rotating swivel plate

End of the wobbly orbit!

Super easy installation and the parts actually fit correctly, a rarity in aftermarket VW parts! (Full disclosure I welded in the seatbase into a bay window bus). The seat swivel bushings snapped right in and are working great. I did have to loosen the nuts that hold the swivel together slightly because it was difficult to rotate with the nuts tightened down. I will swap out for nylock nuts and adjust as they wear in. Awesome parts, even has GOWESTY logo molded in, and now a smooth orbit and happy camping!!

Just as you'd expect

Works well, does job

Swivel seat bushings

Product works as expected... fine... BUT!
Nearly 50 bucks for a few cents worth of plastic!
Very wasteful packaging. A 4x4x4 box when a small envelope would do fine. At my end... $237.54 AUD for cents worth of plastic. Wow! $1 of credits. Pathetic!

Prevents (mostly) wobbly seat swivel...

Not a perfect fix...but worked pretty well (95%). Every now and again I feel a slight wonk in the driver's seat (could be the result of some other issue though...not really sure).

You would think the upgrade would be metal not plastic

Hi Paula, the swivel bushings need to be slippery - yet durable - plastic to provide smooth swiveling operation of the seat. Our product is simply a reproduction of the original VW part.
