EMPI's Heavy Duty VW IRS Spring Plates are sold as a pair and have a 4 1/4" collar for use with 24 11/16" torsion bars. The silver painted spring plates are not for any stock VW application but can be used on 1973 through 1974 Things if an additional hole is drilled into the plate. Spring plates slide over the rear torsion bars and are held in place by the spring plate cover. The torsion bar is a torsional bar that acts in place of a traditional spring to hold up the rear of the car. The trailing arm bolts to the spring plate, connecting the rear axle, wheel and suspension to the torsion bar. The plates ride in rubber (or urethane bushings) to prevent metal on metal contact. Heavy duty spring plates require 1 3/4" inside diameter inner spring plate bushings and 1 7/8" inside diameter outer spring plate bushings. Stock rubber bushing will not fit with the heavy duty spring plates.
