This specialized component is designed specifically for vehicles equipped with the \"Z-Bar\" (compensating spring) rear suspension setup. The rubber stop acts as a buffer for the Z-Bar operating arm, preventing harsh metal-to-metal contact during suspension travel and helping to maintain the correct tension on the rear swing axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eOver time, these rubber stops become compressed, cracked, or completely missing due to exposure to road debris and oil. A degraded stop can lead to clunking noises in the rear end and negatively affect the vehicle's camber under load. These high-quality reproductions are molded from durable, high-density rubber to match the original factory specifications for shore hardness and fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThis rubber stop is specific to swing-axle models equipped with a factory Z-Bar continuously across these years:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Beetle (Standard):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e1967, 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e1967\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialized Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically engineered for the short-lived but critical 1967-1968 swing axle Z-Bar configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVibration Damping:\u003c\/b\u003e Absorbs impact energy from the suspension operating arm, reducing cabin noise and chassis stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOEM Style Reproduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Matches the original factory shape and density to ensure proper suspension preload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSold Individually:\u003c\/b\u003e Note that most vehicles require \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"51\"\u003etwo (2) per car\u003c\/b\u003e (one for the left side and one for the right side).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 113-501-737A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Density Black Rubber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Rear Suspension (Left or Right)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e Z-Bar \/ Compensating Spring Operating Arm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCheck the Z-Bar Links:\u003c\/b\u003e While replacing these stops, inspect the Z-Bar plastic sleeves and the rubber bushings on the operating rods.
