What does this part do on a VW?
This heavy-duty raised spindle set is designed to lift the front suspension by approximately 3 inches while retaining factory suspension travel and steering geometry. Based on the original Volkswagen Type 181 (Thing/Trekker) spindle design, these forged spindles provide increased ground clearance without the harsh ride quality often associated with suspension lift kits.

Manufactured using modern CAD engineering and forged steel construction, they offer improved strength and durability compared to many aftermarket cast alternatives.
