Energy Suspension 15.3105G is a complete polyurethane rear control arm bushing kit engineered to replace the worn, sagging rubber bushings on your air-cooled VW's independent rear suspension (IRS). Made from Energy's Hyper-Flex performance polyurethane, this kit restores proper rear suspension geometry, sharpens handling, and lasts far longer than the factory rubber it replaces.

Vehicle Fitment

  • 1968–1978 Volkswagen Beetle (with IRS rear suspension)
  • 1971–1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle (with IRS rear suspension)
  • 1973–1974 Volkswagen Thing (Type 181)

Note: This kit fits IRS-equipped models only. Swing-axle Beetles use a different bushing.

Key Features

  • Hyper-Flex polyurethane construction — resists oil, road salt, and contaminants that destroy rubber bushings
  • Full-floating, non-binding design for smooth suspension travel
  • Maintains correct rear alignment under cornering, towing, and hard driving
  • Drops into the factory control arms — no modifications required, reuses OE shims
  • Includes high-viscosity bushing lubricant for proper installation
  • Color: Black

What's in the Kit

Complete set of rear control arm bushings for both left and right sides, plus installation lubricant. Part number 15.3105G, UPC 703639253792.

Why Replace Your Rear Control Arm Bushings?

Worn rear bushings on a Beetle cause clunking over bumps, vague rear-end feel, uneven tire wear, and rear toe changes during cornering. After 40+ years, original rubber bushings are almost always cracked, oil-soaked, or completely collapsed. Upgrading to polyurethane tightens up the rear end and gives the car the responsive feel it had when it left Wolfsburg — only better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will 15.3105G fit my Super Beetle?

Yes, as long as your Super Beetle has independent rear suspension (IRS), which all 1971–1979 Super Beetles do.

What's the difference between 15.3105G and 15.3105R?

Only the color. The "G" suffix is black, the "R" suffix is red. Material, durometer, and fit are identical.

Does this fit a swing-axle Beetle?

No. This kit is for IRS rear suspension only. Pre-1968 swing-axle Beetles need a different bushing.

Do I need to press these in?

Polyurethane bushings are softer than rubber when installed and typically slide into the control arm housings with the supplied lubricant. A press is not usually required, though a vise or careful tapping helps.

How long do polyurethane bushings last?

Typically 3–10 years depending on use, often outlasting the rubber originals by a wide margin.

Will these affect ride quality?

Slightly firmer than fresh rubber, but the difference is small on the rear control arms and well worth the improvement in handling precision.

Just what I needed!!!
Size: Width 16.5", Fully Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Single, Size: Width 16.5", Fully Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Single
Just what I needed to improve my posture while working from home. Having a lower table was killing my back and neck. Instructions pretty easy and clear for assembly, walks you through the steps to either use it for a laptop or for a monitor. Really easy to adjust, excellent range of motion in all 3 axes, and 90% is metallic so the quality is superb, greatly recommended!

Sturdy, works well
Size: Width 16.5", Fully Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Single
Been using this for awhile. I move it around a lot and it keeps up. My only complaint is it occasionally loosens so I have to find the tool and retighten it. Mine also came with a piece broken, and I never got any sort of replacement part. That's a bit on me, but it's rather annoying when one of the laptop clips continuously falls off.

Absolutely fabulous products!
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual
The only downfall of this product is that there is no instant up/down adjustment on the arms. Otherwise this mount is outstanding. It is easy to put together, the only items you'll want that aren't in the box are a screwdriver and a wrench. It went up in just a couple of minutes, and it's sturdy and very well made. I like that I can put it flush to a wall because it does not need any room behind it. This is beyond amazing for the inexpensive cost. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Also adding to the awesomeness is an array of additional arms and accessories for this you can find from Wali to make your setup perfect for you, all at great prices. I've got my office setup complete with three arms and two laptop trays and the whole thing cost less than a single arm I purchased from Amazon Basics. Handy thought regarding the laptop trays is that they're a nice size, and with the catch at the bottom, I've found I like to use it as a literature tray. I drop a book on there and it holds it at a nice angle to read from when transferring or referencing data. The trays do bounce some when typing, but much less than any other type of arm/tray system I've ever used. Highly recommended!

Not as complicated to put together as it seems, and quite sturdy
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Triple
When I first unpacked this stand, I was initially overwhelmed by the number of parts that were included in the package. I didn’t realize there were extra parts included to offer you two choices for how to mount the stand to your workstation. Once I got that sorted out, I relaxed a bit more and was able to assemble the unit single-handedly and mount two 22” monitors and a laptop to give myself more room on my desk. It was a bit challenging to move the arms to just the right angles and height, but I did get it after a few tries. I used the re-positionable clamp instead of the desk- through grommet mount. It feels very sturdy, and I feel as long as I periodically check the tension and tightness of the bolts, it will hold up everything just fine. I am not thrilled with the cable management clamps that attach to the round center pole, so I’ll probably end up looking for different clamps or even just velcro fasteners to loop around the post. The clamps that snap onto the arms themselves are fine and hold the Displayport and power cords in place well. I thought about dinging this unit a star for the weird center post clamps and also because the black coating on part of the round post is flaking off, but really, I can work with those things/cover up the cosmetic issues. I was super-impressed by the way the hardware was included in labeled, individual plastic compartments. The instructions were pretty good, too, although I would have liked the print to be a little larger - once you hit your forties, you reach for readers or have to get up close and squint to see small print… Overall, I’m pleased with this unit.

Game changer
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual, Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual
**update 2026** Okay I've just upgraded this mount so let me update my review. I am keeping 5 stars because for an entry level budget mount it did its job. Here's why I changed: if your desk is not solid wood, the base of the mount is too narrow and will start to sink in. Also, after a few years one of the arm started to sag. I upgraded for a mount double this price so not outrageous but the base is wider and the arms are sturdier. I am still happy I purchased that one because for my budget it did the job so these years and it's better than not having it. Still recommend if your budget is low and you need to save desk space, it's a great starter. If you can wait and save twice this, I suggest you do and skip to the better ones though. **original review 2020** Been using this mount for about 3 months, time to review: It is an absolute game changer! Cheap, easy to assemble and install, feels sturdy. At first my wife was skeptical because she thought it would be a gimmick but it frees up so much space, it brings both monitors to the same eye-level height, the mouse cable never gets stuck under the laptop anymore, and it holds the cables in place so that when she has to run with the laptop they don't fall behind the desk anymore (see picture). All these little details improved her productivity. And just visually it looks much better I think. Laptop: 15" Monitor: 24"
