Bring new life to your late-model Super Beetle's front suspension with the EMPI/Bugpack Front Control Arm Bushing Kit for 1974–1979 Super Beetles. This kit replaces the soft, worn-out factory rubber bushings in both front control arms with high-performance Prothane-grade red urethane — dramatically improving handling response and durability over stock rubber.

Urethane bushings resist oil, grease, and temperature extremes better than OEM rubber, and they don't degrade nearly as fast — meaning a firmer, more precise front end that lasts far longer.

Kit Includes

  • Red urethane bushings for both front control arms (all mounting positions)
  • All pieces needed to service the front control arm bushing set

Fitment

  • 1974–1979 VW Super Beetle (Macpherson strut front suspension)

Important: This kit is specifically for 1974–1979 Super Beetle control arm bushings only. For the combined control arm + sway bar kit, see B6-5243-2. For 1971–1973 Super Beetle, see B6-5243-1.
