What is the benefit of a spherical bearing over a rubber bushing?

A spherical bearing with a Teflon race, like the one in these plates, allows for much more precise and adjustable alignment angles compared to the stock rubber bushings. The Teflon lining helps keep the bearing lubricated and reduces noise, offering a good balance of performance and quiet operation.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Installation is designed to be a bolt-in process with no drilling or welding required. You will need standard hand tools for removing and installing strut components, but no specialized alignment equipment is needed for the plate installation itself.

Will these plates work if my car is lowered?

Yes, these plates are built with increased height specifically to provide additional suspension travel for lowered vehicles. This helps prevent binding and allows for proper alignment adjustments even with a lowered stance.

Product Details

If you're looking to dial in your alignment on your 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro, especially if you've lowered it or plan on hitting the track, these spherical caster/camber plates from UMI Performance are a solid option. They replace the factory rubber strut mount bushings with a chromoly spherical bearing that has a Teflon race, which helps keep things lubricated and quiet. This setup lets you make alignment changes that the stock mounts just can't handle, giving you more control over your car's handling.

These plates are built tough, using 1/4-inch steel that's fully TIG welded for strength. You get extra adjustment both in the mounting plate itself and the bearing housing, so you can really fine-tune your caster and camber settings for whatever you're doing, whether it's daily driving or serious track use. UMI also builds these with a bit of extra height, which is helpful if your Camaro is lowered, giving the suspension more room to travel without binding. They even include new retainer mounts and all the necessary hardware, making them a straightforward bolt-in installation with no drilling or welding required.
