VW Super Beetles have been prone to have a horrible shake in the front end as the front suspension components wear, so much so to the point the problem has earned the nickname of the "Super Beetle Shimmy". Our 1971 to 1973.5 Super Beetle Front Suspension Rebuild Kit is the first step to curing the problem. Our base suspension rebuild kit includes new ball joints, KYB strut inserts and urethane control arm grommets and bushings. If you want to lower the front of your 1971 to 1973.5 Super Beetle while rebuilding the front suspension we also offer EMPI's adjustable front assemblies which will lower your front end 2 to 4 inches. We've also assembled the most commonly needed steering and suspension pieces with the kit if needed. New front springs, upper strut mount bearing assemblies, tie rod assemblies and a steering damper can all be added to the kit if needed.
In mid 1973 VW changed the design of the front suspension and a number of components. To determine if you have an early or late model 1973, look at the ball joint at the bottom of the strut assembly. If it is held in place with 3 bolts, you have an early 1973. If the ball joint is pressed in place (no bolts holding it to the housing) you have a late model 1973.
