I've been able to find four manufacturers/suppliers.
Give me some feedback about these. They are as follows: These are made in Canada and are $195 CDN (US $??). They're inserts which use the stock housing. I've sent several emails to them with no replys. Attached image(s) |

ok heres one reason for spherical bearings
If your car has very stiff shocks, you can push the rubber bushing out of the spring plate. It happened to a friend of mine at Watkins Glen, Turn 1 is a diving hard right. The left front bushing popped out at about 100mph. He gathered the car up and drove slowly to the pits. No damage, but his weekend was over. Another reason is zero compliance... the spherical bushings dont move at all. Not that any misalingment would happen with the upper strut mount moving. |
