Made from tough chromoly steel, these 7\/8\" diameter pins are a direct upgrade over stock link pins — built for the demands of off-road, Baja, long-travel, and performance street applications. Sold as a set of four.\n\n\u003cp\u003eLink pins are the critical hardware that connect your VW's front trailing arms to the axle beam.
