  • ABS

    Anti-Locking Braking System. a computerized method of helping to prevent wheel skid/lock-up during braking. it does not prevent spins, nor does it allow you to stop in a shorter distance. it does allow you to steer the car while braking as hard as possible. available as an option on some Vanagons and EuroVans in Europe during the late 1980's-1990's.

  • Absorbed electrolyte

    Type of deep-cycle battery using absorbed electrolyte and recombinant technology

  • Front shock absorber

    A component that absorbs shock and stabilizes the vehicle's front suspension

  • Front shock absorber bolts

    Bolts that secure the front shock absorber in place

  • Front shock absorber dust cap

    A cap that covers and protects the front shock absorber from dust and debris

  • Shock absorber

    A suspension damper that controls spring oscillation after the wheels cross a bump and helps maintain tire contact and road control. Paruzzi’s front oil-filled listing is for Vanagon/T25 except Syncro, and the catalog lists Syncro dampers separately. “Shock absorber” describes a function, not a complete fitment; front/rear position and Syncro configuration matter.

  • Spring tower

    A component that supports the spring and shock absorber

  • Shock rod

    A rod that connects the shock absorber to the suspension system
