The shock is the power suspension stop. The Syncro shocks are longer. This increased travel means that when the wheel drops the axle shafts now get over extended and the rear springs can become loose and pop out. Keep to the smooth roads.

I installed syncro rear shocks on my 2WD '84 Vanagon, and never had a single problem of any kind after years of use. He may want them in this case for the increased range of travel.

A member of our Pittsburgh Vanagon club needs new rear shocks. He knows he has some kind of lift springs and believes now that they are syncro rear springs. He purchased 2wd factory shocks but is now concerned that syncro shocks are what he needs and that they're different.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
