The VW Transporter T5 and T6 are known for their versatility and capability, but their handling can be improved with some modifications.
One such modification that can improve handling is replacing the rear lower spring cup bush. In this blog post, we will discuss how replacing the rear lower spring cup bush with our 44FF can benefit the handling of any VW Transporter T5 and T6.
What is a spring cup bush?
A spring cup bush is a small but crucial component in the suspension system of a vehicle. It sits at the bottom of the coil spring and helps to locate and support the spring. It also provides a pivot point for the spring to move around, which helps to absorb bumps and keep the vehicle stable. Over time, the spring cup suffers heavily with compression set wearing out and becoming damaged, which can affect the handling of the vehicle.
Why replace the rear lower spring cup bush?
Replacing the rear lower spring cup bush with Polybush’s 44FFcan benefit the handling of a VW Transporter T5 and T6 in several ways:
Improved stability: A worn or damaged spring cup bush can cause the spring to move around excessively, which can affect the stability of the vehicle. Replacing the bush can help to reduce this movement and improve stability.
Better handling: The spring cup bush helps to control the movement of the spring, which can affect the handling of the vehicle. By replacing the bush, you can improve the handling and make the vehicle feel more responsive.
Reduced noise: A worn or damaged spring cup bush can cause noise and vibrations in the suspension system. By replacing the bush, you can reduce these noises and improve the overall comfort of the vehicle.
How to replace the rear lower spring cup bush?
Replacing the rear lower spring cup bush on a VW Transporter T5 and T6 is a relatively simple task that can be done with basic tools. Here are the steps involved:
Raise the vehicle: Use a jack to raise the rear of the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
Remove the wheel: Removing the wheel from the side where you will be replacing the spring cup bush. (Sold in pairs)
Remove the shock absorber: Use a socket wrench to remove the bolts that attach the shock absorber to the lower control arm.
Remove the spring: Use a spring compressor tool to compress the spring and remove the nut from the top of the shock absorber. Then, remove the spring from the vehicle.
Remove the old bush: Use a pry bar to push the old bush from the spring cup seat.
Installing the new bush: Place the new bush onto the protruding dowel on the lower wishbone.
Reassemble the suspension: Reinstall the spring, shock absorber, and wheel in reverse order.
