English · machine-assisted draft

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.

English · machine-assisted draft

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.

English · machine-assisted draft

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.
