Prothane 22-302 Rear Axle Beam Bushing Insert Kit for VW Golf II & Jetta II

The Prothane 22-302 is a polyurethane rear axle beam bushing insert kit designed as a performance upgrade over the factory rubber bushings found in 1985–1992 Volkswagen Golf II and Jetta II models. Worn or soft OEM rubber rear axle bushings allow unwanted flex and movement in the rear suspension, leading to imprecise handling and degraded alignment stability. These Prothane inserts eliminate that slop, restoring and maintaining proper geometry under all driving conditions.

Key Features:

• Polyurethane construction — firmer than OEM rubber for improved compliance resistance and reduced deflection
• Superior handling performance — minimizes rear axle movement to keep suspension geometry consistent during cornering
• Alignment stability — helps maintain factory or custom alignment settings under hard cornering and acceleration
• Available in red or black — choose the color to suit your preference
• Direct-fit inserts — designed to install into the existing rear axle beam without cutting or modification
• Made in the USA — manufactured by Prothane to exact application-specific specifications
• Lifetime warranty — Prothane backs all suspension parts against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of original ownership

The Prothane 22-302 rear axle inserts are also included as a component of the Prothane complete VW suspension kit (part #222009), which covers front and rear bushings for a full suspension refresh. Installation with proper lubrication using Prothane Super Grease is recommended to prevent squeaking and ensure long service life.
