Shared Vanagon Dictionary

  • Sway bar link

    A short link connecting the sway bar to the suspension, transferring relative movement so the bar can resist body roll. Paruzzi lists one Vanagon/T25 version through July 1984 and a later version from August 1984 that excludes Syncro; the earlier and later links have different catalog numbers. The name describes the component, not one universal replacement fitment.

  • Sway bar link bushings

    Bushings for connecting sway bars to the vehicle chassis

  • Sway bar link lower bushings

    Resilient sleeves fitted at the lower sway-bar-link connection, locating the joint while allowing controlled movement. Paruzzi lists an early lower bushing for Syncro and non-Syncro applications through the 1984 chassis break, and a different later bushing for non-Syncro models. “Lower” identifies a position; it does not mean one part fits every Vanagon or Syncro.
