Say goodbye to soft, deteriorated rubber bushings in your early Super Beetle's front suspension. The EMPI/Bugpack Front Control Arm & Sway Bar Bushing Kit gives 1971–1973 VW Super Beetle owners a complete red urethane upgrade for the entire front suspension bushing set — both control arms and the front sway bar.

This kit replaces the inferior factory rubber with high-performance Prothane-grade red urethane bushings, reducing flex, improving handling response, and dramatically extending service life over stock rubber.

Kit Includes:

  • Red urethane bushings for both front control arms
  • Red urethane bushings for the front sway bar
  • All pieces needed to service the front suspension bushings

Fitment:

  • 1971–1973 VW Super Beetle (Macpherson strut front suspension)

Important: This kit is specifically for 1971–1973 Super Beetle models. For 1974–1979 Super Beetle, see B6-5243-2.
