Push Rod Washer - Rear Suspension Beetle

Post by No More Landy »

Is this washer made of rubber and where will I get it ? Called "Guide Ring" in my manual.

Trying to eliminate all knocking sounds from suspension and assume this is one source if this is missing from mine.

It's more like a hard plastic, with a lip below, which clips into the "guide for lever". A rubber grommet will be too soft, and quickly suffer damage from the push rod.

You can import them, but for the meanwhile you can cut a piece of hosepipe , loosen the bottom nut and washer and slide it over the shaft.

I was buying some Silicone Rubber at Rubber Mouldings and saw some fairly hard rubber washers/grommets the exact size I needed so bought two and slipped them in after removing the bottom nut and washer - found the genuine ones at R100 each but bought these two at R50 together.
