Sway bar link lower bushings
Brakes and suspensionEnglish · 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.

Front shift rod bushing
Transmission and drivetrainEnglish · machine-assisted draft
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.
