What is this part called?
1974-79 Beetle 1303 Front Drum Brake Spindle Set, Original Reconditioned Pair
What does this part do on a VW?
This pair of front drum brake spindles forms a critical part of the front suspension and steering assembly, providing the mounting point for the front wheel bearings, brake drums, backing plates, and steering components. Designed specifically for the 1303 Super Beetle front suspension system, these spindles maintain correct steering geometry, suspension movement, and wheel alignment.
These are original Volkswagen spindles that have been professionally reconditioned and refinished in durable satin black powder coat. Retaining genuine VW components ensures correct fitment, factory tolerances, and original steering characteristics while providing a clean restored appearance for restoration and refurbishment projects.
These spindles feature the later two-bolt strut mounting arrangement used on 1303 Super Beetle models, making them the correct replacement for late-model drum brake equipped vehicles.
