Why should I replace the factory rubber shock bushings?

Factory rubber shock bushings are known to deteriorate over time and can fail, especially with track use or coilover conversions. Replacing them with spherical bearings eliminates flex and friction for better suspension performance.

What are the benefits of spherical bearings over rubber bushings?

Spherical bearings allow for more direct suspension movement without deflection or binding. This results in improved steering feel and more consistent handling, especially during hard cornering.

Do I need to lubricate these bearings?

No, the bearings in this kit are Teflon-lined and designed for zero maintenance. They do not require any lubrication.
