Spherical bearings rear LCA ?

Post by cutler »

Hi Datto heads


Im grateful for any input on this.

I would like to upgrade my stock bushings to a "Spherical bearing type" for the rear LCA`s.
I know design products sell s "bolt in" kit. I have emailed them twice wanted to buy with no answer at all back. :o
Do they not ship overseas? Should still at least answer is my thoughts..'

So,does anyone else sell identical kits besides design products?

Thanks

I see you art in Norway, but you should try calling Cathy at the front desk. I ended up making my own, by the end of it, I wished I had spent the money on their kit it took me so long to machine. I am unaware of any other DIY kits.

One note, you said "bolt in kit" you do have to tack weld them in, at least that is the way it was when I bought mine from Don years ago. I just hit 3 small tacks on each side and they have stayed put fine.

Yeah, I am pretty sure the external sleeves are tacked to the control arm from what I remember.
