Spherical bearing C. arm


panchovisa

No rubber or urethane here. Teflon lined spherical bearing pressed into front control arm. Retained with steel sleeves welded to arm. Steel spacers to locate arm in cross member.

Had to change pivot bolts from metric to 9/16" and drill out holes in cross member.

Alot of work, but have solid pivot that will work with adjustable T-C rods without binding.

I think nr240 did the same on his car. Will this make for a harder ride? I think this would be good for my car.

Gav, I don't think that this mod will cause a harsher ride by itself. The springs/shocks/sway bar/tires have the most effect on ride.

Very nice. My front suspension is at DP Racing getting a simular modification...surprized that your looking to run this on the street!?

Ron, I'm a maniac. I ran race slicks on the street, now I'm going to drive it with street tires (guess I'm getting older).

maniac's unite or untie!! ....Nice setup. I used the factory bolt with stepped spacers that fit into the spherical bearings. My set up is tricky to install as it is a slight interference fit.

I had to put a short piece of 9/16" rod thru the spacers and bearing to keep them located while I got them into the cross member. I put the real bolt in from the backside and that pushed the temporary alignment pin neatly out the front. Otherwise you need four hands!
