RE: [T3] Rear suspension bushings and another little question


These bushings are available from West Coast Metric. I believe they fit all
aircooled VW's, except maybe bus. A friend of mine and I just replaced these
on my 62 T34. Piece of cake. However, reassembly is a little tighter due to
the new, thicker bushings.
