OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A
Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A
 

Shock Pad, Body to Chassis, Rear, 10mm Thick, 1956-77 Beetle, Super Beetle, Ghia, and THING, 2 Pieces, 111-899-117B-113-115A sit between the pan and body, and dampen road vibration. Typically there are 2 thicknesses used, 10mm and 17mm, these are the 10mm. Ideally you'd buy 2 sets of the 10mm thick, and 1 set of the thicker ones. Put the thin ones on all 4s, and IF there is a gap at one of the locations (typically the rear one in the rear wheel well), swap them out for the thicker ones, then bolt it down.

Warning: it's very common for the bolt that holds the body to the chassis to be very seized, be sure to use a lot of penetrating oil and work it back and forth to loosen it, shearing it off is a pain to deal with!

Also, if you have a 1968 and later car with a "clunk" in the back that you can't figure out (you'd changed shocks with no luck), usually the rear pads are compressed, and the body has a gap to the chassis. The body is flexing when you hit a bump, and hitting the pad. Using the thick pad and tightening the bolt down to prevent the flex will solve the problem!
