Precision Rear Ride Height Adjustment | Swing Axle & IRS
Take control of your VW's rear ride height with this Rear Torsion Adjuster. Designed for air-cooled VW Beetles and Karmann Ghias, this weld-in adjuster allows you to fine-tune rear suspension height without repeatedly removing and re-indexing the spring plates.
Unlike traditional suspension adjustments that require disassembling the rear suspension and repositioning torsion bars, the Washburn's adjuster provides convenient adjustment directly at the center of the rear torsion housing.
Featuring independently adjustable left and right torsion bars, this system makes it easier to correct uneven ride height, fine-tune suspension settings, and achieve your desired stance.
Adjustable Rear Ride Height – Fine-tune rear suspension height without repeatedly re-indexing torsion bars.
Independent Side-to-Side Adjustment – Adjust left and right torsion bars individually to help correct uneven ride height.
Weld-In Design – Integrates into the factory rear torsion housing.
Splined Adjuster Arms – Provides adjustment through individual adjusting bolts.
Swing Axle & IRS Compatible – Designed for a wide range of classic VW rear suspension configurations.
Convenient Fine-Tuning – Simplifies future ride height adjustments after initial installation.
Ideal for Custom Builds – Great for restorations, lowered VWs, performance builds, and custom suspension setups.
1949–1979 VW Beetle
1956–1974 VW Karmann Ghia
Compatible with swing axle and IRS rear suspension configurations.
Important: Verify torsion bar dimensions and suspension configuration before installation. Factory torsion bar lengths and diameters vary by model year.
Professional welding and suspension installation recommended.
Requires modification of the factory rear torsion housing.
The adjuster must be installed square and properly aligned.
Proper reinforcement may be necessary depending on chassis configuration.
Both spring plates should be correctly indexed during initial suspension setup.
Designed for fine-tuning ride height, not replacing proper initial torsion bar setup.
