Reviews & Ratings
  • Lowers vehicle by 6 cm, widens track by 1 cm per wheel
  • Direct fit, no modifications required
  • Maintains original ball joint travel and comfort

SSP Ball Joint Dropped Spindles are the ideal solution for lowering your Bus by 6 cm while retaining its original ride quality. With an increased track width of 1 cm per wheel, they provide improved handling without compromising comfort. These spindles are designed for a perfect fit, allowing for easy installation with no modifications required.

Compatible with all years of Bus models, these dropped spindles require a 1973-onward brake system. For earlier models, upgrading to later brakes is necessary, and specific caliper fixing bolts may also be required. This ensures a smooth transition while enhancing both performance and style.

Product Questions

Hi - are these wagenwest products? and what do you recommend re wheels/tyres (lower ratio tyres to maintain clearance?) if so is there a fix for the speedo reading fast?
Question by: Clive Goadby on 27 May 2024, 18:11
Afternoon Clive,

No sorry these aren't wagenwest spindles. Ours are a 100% new spindle.

As for tyres something like a 185/60/15 should fit, but see where you are at with the stock tyre and work out the additional clearance or tyre size needed from there. #
There are many tyre calculators on the web that will give you a good ball park figure for width and profile.

And yes we do offer a semi-OE looking speedo that is programmable for Bay windows running smaller tyres, please click on the following link;
