Want to improve your road holding performance? Look no further! Our complete set of spherical bearings are designed to replace OEM rubber or aftermarket polyurethane bushes in the MX-5 NC and RX-8 front lower control arm (LCA).
Why not pair these with our other spherical bearings for complete suspension control?
BENEFITS:
- Decreased deflection - improving handling and steering response.
- Minimise alignment drift.
- Increased rigidity over the stock bushing.
- Reduced friction bearings with Teflon liner between ball and body.
- Improved damping in the full range of motion of the control arm.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- 6 x Billet aluminium spherical bearing housings.
- 6 high-quality, pre-installed motorsport spherical bearings.
- 6 internal snap ring.
- 12 Stainless steel spherical misalignment spacers.
NOTE:
- These require a retaining compound (such as Loctite 603) to be used when installed in the UCA, and we advise you key the UCA mating face prior to installation. We recommended using a hydraulic press rather than a vice or bearing installation tool to eliminate misalignment and galling. We have integrated bevels to ease installation, which can also be used to provide additional mechanical retention of the housing in the arm, if desired.
- These are intended for track-focused / race car use where suspension geometry is paramount over NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness).
