EMPI Off-Road Ball Joint Front Beam with Adjusters and Shock Plates for VW Type 1 1966-1977

Baja Bugs, dune buggies and Class 11 cars need more front ride height and travel than a stock beam allows. This bare ball joint beam has welded-in adjusters for height from stock to 4 in. raised and reinforced shock towers for off-road loads, and it bolts in without cutting or drilling.

Fitment & Compatibility

Direct bolt-on for 1966-1977 VW Type 1 with the ball joint torsion beam front end. Super Beetles use MacPherson strut front suspension and do not take this beam. As a bare beam, it needs trailing arms, spindles and the rest of the front end transferred or bought separately. PMB Performance can help confirm this against your build. We have handled air-cooled Volkswagen and Porsche parts for more than 20 years.
