VW Bus Suspension Stops Retaining Clips (211-401-279)

VW Bus Suspension Retaining Clips (211-401-279)

If you are replacing your upper or lower bump stops, these Torsion Arm Stop Clips are essential for a secure installation. These small but mighty clips hold the rubber stops in place on the axle beam, preventing them from falling out during suspension articulation.

Since these clips are located in a high-moisture area of the front beam, they are often heavily rusted or missing entirely on older vehicles. Using new clips ensures your fresh rubber stops won't be lost on the road.

Detailed Vehicle Compatibility

These clips are a universal fit for the following models and years:

VW Bus (Type 2)

• 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979

Product Highlights & Features

• Universal Application: The same clip is used for both the upper and lower bump stops on the front axle.

• Spring-Steel Construction: Made from high-tensile spring steel to maintain tension over thousands of suspension cycles.

• OEM Specification: A direct replacement for VW part number 211-401-279, ensuring proper clearance and fitment.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number: 211-401-279

• Quantity Required: 4 per vehicle (1 per bump stop)

• Fits: Upper and Lower Front Torsion Arms

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Quantity Check: Each Bus requires four of these clips in total (two for the upper stops and two for the lower stops).

• Rust Prevention: Before snapping the new clips on, clean the mounting area on the beam with a wire brush and apply a small dab of grease or anti-seize to prevent future corrosion.

• Tension Check: If you are reusing old clips, ensure they still have a strong "spring" to them. If they feel soft or stay bent when opened, replace them immediately to avoid losing your bump stops.
