Rear Trailing Arm Spherical joint

Complete reproductions of the now defunct rear trailing arm spherical joints that have since been replaced with the inferior bonded rubber version. These allow complete and free movement without any unwanted flex in directions you don't want them to. Teflon lined with a rubber boot as per OE. These have been incredibly hard to remake, needing some pretty specific tooling for essentially a low-volume run. Unfortunately, this is reflected in the price, but if you want the original OE spec bushes, here they are.

Note: As these were often found to seize, leading to the fracture of the tie arms, it is recommended that these be treated as a service item. They are sold to those that want the original superior option but accept these are a maintenance item and will need regular inspection/cleaning/greasing as required.

When installing this, it's essential that you use a press or the correct threaded tools to squeeze them in gently and squarely.  If you try and bang them in with a hammer and socket, you'll probably bruise all the bearing outer casing.  If you return them as 'not fitting correctly' and they have damage on them, I'll just laugh at you. Heed my advice!!!
