What else do I need to know?

The track rod fixing on the knuckle is reverse tappered for a larger bay window track rod to aid chassis clearance.

Link pins, races and bearings are not supplied but are available in stock should you require them.  The fitting of new link pins, bearings etc is recommended.  Why fit old crap back on while the assemblies are apart?

TransporterHaus supplies many resto shops in the VW scene making us probably the biggest producer of drop spindles in Europe.  Enquire for our trade discounts.

2 year build warranty on all TransporterHaus rebuilt spindles.  Don't be tempted by more expensive alternatives.  We do not skip on quality, every spindle is quality checked before leaving Transporterhaus.  Mass production, stock holding and everything being made in house allows us to give the end user the best price.

£225 exchange for your old spindle set, which can be returned after you have fitted the new spindles.

£350 outright set.  Our 55-63 core charge is now £150, which is inlcuded in the outright set price.

Full support available for you to fit these on your bus or fitting available at our workshop in Cornwall.
