The VW Type 2 Torsion Leaves are the Stock Width for 1955 through 1979 Type 2 Bus, Single & Crew Cabs. The torsion leaves are sold "per tube", two sets are needed per front, stock width, link pin or ball joint beams. The torsion leaves are the springs that hold the front end of the car up off the ground. The torsion leaves are held in the front beam and the trailing arms attach to the them. As the trailing arms move up or down, the torsion springs in the beam twist to allow the suspension movement and twist or "spring" back.

The Type 2 leaf pack consists of 9 torsion leaves. As they stack together they create a serrated diamond shape. The leaf pack then "keys" or aligns into a block in the center of the beam to hold the leaf pack from twisting. A center set screw aligns with a drilled dimple in the leaf pack to secure the leaves. The front trailing arms then slide onto the leaves aligning with them and secure to the leaves with set screws.
