Shared Vanagon Dictionary

• Bushing

  Sleeve or lining used to reduce friction in a mechanical joint

• Inner bushings

  Bushings located inside a suspension component

• Outer bushings

  Bushings located outside a suspension component

• Sway bar link bushings

  Bushings for connecting sway bars to the vehicle chassis

• Upper control arm bushings

  Components that require regular inspection to prevent premature wear

• Rear wishbone bushing

  A rubber or plastic component that reduces friction in the rear wishbone

• Front shift rod bushing

  A replaceable guide bushing for the forward section of the gearshift linkage. Paruzzi separates these front bushings from the middle and rear supports and lists this Vanagon/T25 part for Type-4 or diesel engines through July 1982, and CT or CZ engines through December 1982. Check the actual engine and linkage against that catalog scope; “front” alone does not confirm fitment.

• Shift rod bushing

  In this glossary entry, “shift rod bushing” refers to the rear guide bushing listed for Vanagon/T25. Paruzzi gives different VIN breakpoints for Syncro and non-Syncro applications around April 1987, so the generic name does not establish fitment. Confirm the chassis/VIN and linkage position before treating a catalog match as compatible.
