⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - "Keep your VW riding right. Genuine VW Mexico ball joint torsion springs replace sagging originals, restoring stock ride quality or setting you up for a narrowed stance." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Classic Volkswagen Type 1 and Type 181 models feature an axle beam up front, and inside that beam are torsion leaves—also called torsion springs, torsion slats, torsion bars, or OEM part number 131411107A for the ball joint application. Each vehicle requires an upper and lower set.

Each tube houses ten leaves—four wide and six small—arranged in a hexagonal shape, with three stacked on top and three on the bottom.

When it comes to suspension, age is everything. Ball joint suspension was introduced in 1966, which means these torsion leaves can be up to 59 years old (as of 2025). Over time, they lose spring tension, causing your VW to sag and ride lower than intended—even if you think your suspension is “stock.”

For reference, Classic VW Beetles originally had about six inches (150mm) of clearance between the top of a 165SR15 tire and the fender straight from the showroom floor.

These torsions are brand-new, genuine VW Mexico springs—not used or reconditioned. Available in stock widths or narrowed up to six inches, they’re the right choice whether you’re restoring ride quality or dialing in stance.
