Adjuster front axle 'Sway-a-Way' | VW Beetle, KG 08/65-, Type 181
Adjuster block for the front axle of the VW Beetle and Karmann Ghia from 08/1965, as well as the Type 181. The adjuster block replaces the fixed centre mounting of the leaf springs and makes the ride height infinitely adjustable; it is welded in.
This adjustment block replaces the fixed central mounting of the spring leaves on an original front axle and is welded in between instead. This allows for infinite height adjustment, also known as 'Sway-a-Way' style. For proper fitting you need 2, one at the top and one at the bottom, and good welding skills are definitely required. Supplied by the piece and available for both the early 'bundboltzen' and the later balljoint axle
