    Spherical Front LCA bushings - 316 Stainless steel

    NOTE** not for the faint @ heart.
    If your looking for the best performance on the market these will give it to you.
    Tried & Tested -After designing & installing these bushings I will not return to anything else.
    [Ride Harshness is comparable if not better then polyurethane equivalent]


    because i personally enjoy these to such an extent, i opted to have 10 sets ONLY machined
    it's my personal belief that everyone should have a set.

    if your hardcore & demand the best of the best~ then these are what you need.

    * Positive caster increase & full floating spherical LCA bushings
    * Shell pieces are 316 stainless steel
    * Bearings are 440c heat treated stainless steel high load bearings
    * Bearing sleeve's are grooved to accept oring's to seal the unit's from any additional road debris


    Installed pictures with them in the LCA's are the final R&D prototype made in mild steel with the 440c heat treated SS bearings- these are now on my FE3 323 & were previously installed in my bpt323 (reason why i took off my SuperPro's®)

    These are designed to fit:
    Front bearing- all LCA's with 38mm OD (basically everything BG/EC-possibly BH variants(anyone volunteer for measuring??)
    Rear bearing- 46mm OD rear bushing cage only (large bracket) late model BG/all EC

    feel free to drool like a kid around the christmas tree

    Do these help to curb wheel hop?

    If so, I will likely pick up a set...

      These eliminate front/back deflection in the control arm. Removing one more aspect causing wheel hop

      wheel hop can also be a cause of:
      • tire compound & traction ratio in X circumstance
      • motor mount condition
      • Strut/spring condition


      I should also note. these remove all LCA bind from poly/rubber.
      Making a notable change to the front dampening rate feel & causing the strut/spring to function as it was designed VS the rubber/poly inherently affecting the feel of the spring rate.
      Its a win/win situation allowing the LCA's to function in a consistantly smooth arc

          Here is a Youtube video, that about sums this up.

          And drove a rod through his block.

            Go remove your LCA from the spindle.... try to push it down you'll notice the spring effect/binding the rubber causes.- the same can be seen with poly-but depending to a lesser degree

            these bushings allow the control arms to be moved their full arc with one finger & zero spring effect/bind.

                These alone make me want to move my racecar to the unlimited class where they're legal!!! Of course if I do that then I might as well install the tubular front control arms/spherical balljoint...it's never ending...These folks will be a huge improvement on and off the track---drive into the garage, pull the energy suspension stuff out, install these, drive around the block and feel a noticeable difference!! Nice job/great idea/product!

                      If i didn't just buy ES bushings and in a cash bind atm i would soo go for these. You guys really need to jump on these. I wish i could afford to go with 2 sets FTW.

                        Have to wait till spring, when I plan to install my 3rd gen escort subframe, as to whether I can afford a set.

                            Ryan, I'm "IN", but it will be a awhile before I have the bucks. My MX5 has to go and that is not going very well.
