Comment: The location of the endlink point is in the wrong place, and appears to be offset to the center of the LCA. This will make using any factory style, or spherical style endlinks a real PITA.

 

I think EK arms have the hole near the center of the arm. I posted asking if the EG/DC application has the hole offset towards the top.

Another note: spherical bearing don't really hold up well to everyday driving use. If subjected to normal weather conditions (hot, dry, wet, cold, etc) those sphericals are going to take a dump.

Too bad they don't have rubber boots over the sphericals like some other ones I've seen.

 

password:jdm = very sketchy; for around the same price get some function 7's and call it a day

 

I found that what has helped our spherical bearings last longer is the fact that Aurora uses a teflon lining around the race, which has a sort of self-sealing effect. The rubber boot is just extra protection. On a race car, where parts are replaced season after season, I don't see longevity to be a major issue with any spherical bearing, so much as functionality.

Exactly... I was just saying for a street car they're not the best thing to use... such as my car which has been driven around 180K miles in the past 7 years. I don't think spherical bearings would have held up that long.

I actually still have all the original rubber bushings on the car, except for the upper control arms (not original). I do need to replace a few, mainly the dry-rotted RTA bushings. But I'd say that's pretty good for rubber bushings on a 14-yr old car with 270K miles on it.

*edit* ohhh looked at that ad again, the EG/DC arms indeed do NOT have the sway bar hole in the correct location.

Junk.

 

well maybe not junk, but could be better.

 

If its for a strictly track application then a steel arms with spherical bearings if possible would be best.

But the Function 7's seem to have a lot of good feedback and they are about the same price.

 

Looks like MFactory LCAs, but red.
