Product Description

Type 2 1968-79 Drop Spindles fit 1968 and later Type 2 Bus models. 1968 through 1972 Type 2s must use 1973 & later brake rotors, calipers, etc. The brand new, (not re-manufactured) drop spindles will lower your Bus 2" while keeping the same suspension geometry and maintaining the stock ride. The drop spindles are designed to replace your original spindles without modification. Drop spindles will lower your Bus so a smaller tire may be necessary. For 1968 through 1971 drum brake models, new wheels will be needed as the drop spindles require 5x112 lug pattern brake rotors. Check in the "+ Additional Options:" tab above to add items as needed. These spindles are not compatible with 5x205mm disc brake kits.

Smaller tires may be required as the spindles will lower the Bus.

Not compatible with 5x205mm Disc Brake Conversion Kits

1968 through 1970 and 1971 Buses with front drum brakes (5x205 lug pattern) will have to change the front wheels to a 5x112 pattern wheel.

The stock 14" 5x112 wheel will fit the drop spindles as will the following aftermarket wheels:10-1082 Gasser, 10-1084 Cosmo, 9731 Chrome BRM, 9697 Black BRM, 9694 Chrome 911, 9728 Black 911, 9749 Dish, 9662 Black GT-5 & 9695 Silver GT-5. To install matching rear wheels the stock drum will have to be drilled for the 5x112 pattern, and press in studs can be installed. Or the 1971 and later 5x112 brake system (backing plates, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, hubs and drums) can be sourced from a wrecking yards and installed.

1968 through 1972 Bus models will need to install :
2 - 1973-79 Type 2 Front Brake Rotors which are sold individually.
2 - 1973-79 Type 2 Front Brake Calipers which are sold individually.
4 - 1973-79 Type 2 Front Brake Hub Bolts which are sold individually.

1968 through 1970 Bus models will also need :
2 - 1971-79 Type 2 Front Brake Rotor Hubs which are sold individually. The brake hubs use the stock inner and outer bearings and wheel seals.

A non-servo (no vacuum booster) master cylinder is recommended and includes a new brake fluid reservoir.

All of these options are available in the "+ Additional Options:" tab above.

The original dust shields are NOT compatible with the drop spindles.

Shipping

Our shipping policy is as follows:
We ONLY ship within the United States and its territories.

Orders over $100 will receive free shipping within the continental United States. Freight on under $100 will be $9.95. Large packages ship FedEx. Smaller packages ship US Priority Mail. Delivery time averages 1-5 business days after it ships.

Most orders to Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico and other US territories are shipped by the US Postal Service. The shipping costs for these orders are billed at the time of shipping.

For expedited shipping, you must call us. All express orders are personally handled by the representative you speak with in order to streamline the process. Please do not request express shipping via email. Emails are reviewed in the order they are received which could possibly delay your shipping.

Shipping on any returns is the customer's responsibility. If your order qualified for free shipping and a returned item reduces your order below the $100, you will be charged the according shipping cost for the order.

Returns

90 Day Return Policy

You can return most unused, never installed, like-new items for 90 days from the date of receipt. Items must be in like-new condition. The following items are final sale:
  • Special order items
  • Special order upholstery
  • Electrical items
  • Installed carburetors
Like-new Condition: JBugs may refuse a return when the returned item is not in like-new condition. These situations will lead to refused returns:
  • Installed items
  • Items missing parts or the original packaging material
  • Items damaged in return shipping due to improper packaging
  • Carburetors that smell like fuel
  • Damage due to customer negligence
  • Items with scour marks that show installation or attempted installation from nuts, bolts, screw-driver’s, washers, etc.

Returns must be sent in a proper shipping box.
With the exception of parts that are shipped to you in the original manufacturer packaging (example - TMI door panels, floor pans, complete front beams, etc), please be sure to return the parts with an external box or protective packaging around the parts you are returning. Most manufacturer packaging boxes are not rated for shipping and can become damaged or destroyed as they are too thin to withstand forces applied during the shipping process. Failure to do so will result in a higher restocking/reboxing fee or outright refusal of the return if the part cannot be restocked in the same condition it arrived at you.
