Default sperical bearing in front crossmember

for the radius rod?
I have a bent front crossmember throwing off my alignment, and have a lead on one that has been rebuilt by an auto x'er with spherical bearings.

I'm wondering if anyone else runs this on the street and how liveable it is?

thx

Default Re: sperical bearing in front crossmember

If you are just using the bearings in the front cross member, there should be almost no difference all all in how your car behaves. The only real difference you will likely notice is that you won't have wheel hop issues on hard launches, which, in my opinion, is a big bonus.

Every way i see it, it would be an upgrade with no major consequences, other than the fact that you may have to pay closer attention to the lifespan of those bearings, because they will last less long than the rubber bushings with no moving parts will.
