High Performance Brass Idler Arm Bushings
Top Line Parts has introduced a new high performance idler arm bushing for all 71 to 73 Super Beetle models.
If your Super has been suffering from shimmies and shakes, or sloppy steering, a new idler arm bushing may be needed.
The bushing is an exact replacement for the VW bonded rubber bushing, but incorporates some performance improvements.
Made from solid brass, the Top Line bushing is a precision fit in your existing idler arm holder assembly.
While brass bushings have been available in the past, the new Top Line bushing incorporates an internal grease
distribution groove. Once pressed into place, it's an easy matter to drill & tap the holder for a Zerk fitting,
making the bushing serviceable with a grease gun.
The optional Zerk fitting is included with the 71 to 73 bushing, as well as detailed illustrated instructions for
installation. 73 and later bushing supplied in brass, but without internal grease groove feature.
87-0142 Brass Idler arm bushing, for 71 to mid-72 Supers.
Fits chassis #112-25-75326. Grease groove feature including Zerk fitting.
87-0143 Brass Idler arm bushing, mid-72 Supers and later.
Fits chassis #112-25-75327 and later.
