OEM VW intake manifold shift rod bushings wear out and rattle loudly during acceleration and deceleration. Worn bushings then lead to intake manifold erosion that forces replacement.

Avoid expensive repairs! Our parts are thicker and made from more durable material. Most importantly, they are geometrically designed to maximize surface area contacting the intake manifold with tightest tolerances. Click here for DIY instructions.
Note: Bushings are sold in pairs to replace 2 bushing rods. (Early '99.5 engines have an even weaker 5 bushing rod. Upgrade to 2-bushing rod is required.)
