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!

Tie Rod Relocation Kit (Tie Rod Flip Kit), Pair
Tie Rod Relocation Kit (Tie Rod Flip Kit), PAIR
Price: $19.95

Tie Rod Relocation Kit (Tie Rod Flip Kit), Pair are used to "Flip" your tie rod end. Simply drill the hole out to 5/8" and then use this bushing to put the tie rod on the other side! Great product! This is used to correct steering geometry in lowered cars, or to get more tie rod clearance.

This is a great product for correcting steering geometry and bump-steer issues!

These ONLY fit late tie rod ends! You can use these on early cars with the smaller tie rod ends, but you'll need 2 new tie rod ends to match the newly inserted bushings.

An example of a car that has a "problem" is when the car is extremely lowered, and now the outer tie rods sit higher than the pitman arm on the steering box (inner tie rods). Using this kit, you relocate the outer arms to insert into the spindle from BELOW, rather than above, and this restores the tie rod angle that is necessary for the steering to work properly.

Caster Fix Sway Bar Bushing Kit, Stock Diameter Sway Bar, 1971-79 Superbeetle, Pair
Caster Fix Sway Bar Bushing Kit, Stock Diameter Sway Bar, 1971-79 Superbeetle, PAIR
Price: $24.95
SALE ITEM! use code TOOMANY30

Caster Fix Sway Bar Bushing Kit, Stock Diameter Sway Bar, 1971-79 Superbeetle, Pair correct insufficient caster settings on Super Beetles. These bushings move the swaybar and the bottom of the strut FORWARD, for a more stable caster alignment. You can also cut and slot the top of the strut mount on the Super Beetle body to tip the strut top back, doing the same thing, but the installation of these bushings is a LOT easier than all that work!

Lowered cars have less caster, which is great for parking lot driving, but horrible for 50+ mph!

Furthermore, if you lower the front end of your car, Caster is decreased further! Less Caster makes the steering easy in slow speed conditions (great for parking lot Sharking with Granny!), but the steering gets really "Twitchy" at speed. Since Caster is not really adjustable on Super Beetles, using these bushings is the the only solution.

Lastly, if you look at your bushings, they are probably the stock ones, and 40 years old! They are shot, and in need of replacement anyways, so you may as well upgrade to these to address the insufficient Caster ANYWAYS.

MAXX STRUT Adjustable Lowering Strut Kit, 1973 1/2-79 (2-bolt Struts), PAIR
Price: $529.95

MAXX STRUT Adjustable Lowering Strut Kit, 1973 1/2-79 (2-bolt Struts), Pair is the highest quality and most flexible lowering system for VW Super Beetles! This kit will lower the front of your Super Beetle up to 3" depending on it's adjustment.

This new coil-over design with small 75mm spring gives maximum wheel and tire clearance for larger 16, 17, and 18 inch wheels. Wheels must have a minimum 5 1/2 inch back spacing for best results. Supplied with adjustable ride height housings, gas shock inserts, springs, billet aluminum spring holders, red street sport springs, and closing nut. As an additional benefit, these have a significantly reduced weight of the new spring and components, which knowledgeable VW enthusiasts know results in less un-sprung weight. Less un-sprung weight means better ride, and better handling!

You do re-use your original top bearing mounts.

Your installation will require careful planning, as the kit will only work with rims with 5 1/2 to 6 inch back spacing (approximately 50 to 55mm offset). Longer wheel studs and wheel spacers will probably be necessary.

Note that the 80lb/in springs are quite stiff, they definitely put your ride into the "Sport" category! We recommend the red springs for most street use!
