The VW Vanagon came in many different suspension heights, from very low (Carat, Wolfsburg edition) to very high (Syncro). These ball joint spacers are a great way to get the suspension back in the adjustable range, especially on lifted 2WD Vanagons. If you are having trouble with alignment and/or front tires wearing badly on the shoulders, try a pair of our spacers. Read more about the spacers here.

Fitment Note: These spacers fit perfectly with most brands of ball joints out there, but we have seen some cases — Delphi brand, in particular — where the ball joint top cap was too tall or the mounting holes were offset a bit too far for them to fit properly. We have even seen different iterations from the same manufacturer fit differently. Therefore, we can only guarantee fitment with the Febi/Bilstein joints that we sell.

Kit includes:
• (2) aluminum upper ball joint spacers
• (4) 35mm metric allen bolts - class 12.9 (grade 8 equivalent)

A pair of these spacers are included with each GoWesty 2WD lifting spring set.

GoWesty would like to thank Mark Garnick, Riley Hanson-Smith, and Dustin Osterhaus of the University of Washington for their work on this project!
