I have ordered Kingpin machine spherical front compliance bearings to replace the OEM ones, as the were made for NVH reduction. My question is will i need to remove the arm that goes to the f-lca to the compliance bearing ? any one replaced these on their cars in general ?. (I know spherical's are short lived if you street drive the car)

 

Do these things not wear out or something ? lol someone has to know

 

what arm? you will have to remove the lower control arm to install them, yes.

 

both, ok I'm guessing they need to be pressed in like other bearings too.

 

The bushings slide off....unless they're rusted.

You remove the 19mm nut. The compliance bushings then come off.

 

ok I'm just assuming they're a tighter fit then the oem and may need to be pressed in, the stock compliance are horribly soft even from the factory.

 

The stock bushing has a metal sleeve that attaches to the LCA mounting point. The metal is what it slides on.
