Not only were they the wrong parts on MM website, you gotta go to the racetrack.. <br /><br />Performance Shock, Inc sells em.. they were spherical bearings for the bottom of the koni's.. and the top also have full spherical.. i've never even seen this shit, and I can't find it online, anywhere.. <br /><br />Anyone?? <br /><br />I may have to take pix lol. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Martinna</b> <br /><small>Member # 12493</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2018,4,27,2,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Do the bearings having a logo or part number stamped on it?

Aurora makes the same thing, but stainless steel races, and they were a buck more. I had them overnighted from Sears Point (Big shout to Beau at Performance Shock out there) and they are going on the car today. I put one in last night.. what a pain in the ass, gotta fashion a bolt with washer, then put a 3/4 socket over it and tighten the nut til it pulls the fucker in.. fun. <br /><br />Least it's the correct part this time, so if anyone has these.. I hope they see this lol. <br /><br />I also noticed my coilovers in the rear ALSO have a spherical bearing on the upper portion.. so the top of the shock can articulate freely as well.. someone spent some money on this car before I had it.. nice stuff.. <br /><br />It's not full out griggs or mm... yet.. but, for now, it'll do. It's got griggs tubular front a arms, but the k member is stock for now, that should change this fall. <br /><br />If anyone has suggestions between MM and Griggs... love to hear it. I'm not a great welder.... and I would prefer to keep the car strictly a street scar (it's a daily driver) and MAYBE hit a track here and there.. I live on a lake in Nor.Cal and it's basically a fucking road coure everywhere I go.. soo.....<br /><br />Torque arm/PH bar was next on the list... unless someone can convince me that an IRS is a better investment. <br /><br />Thanks. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
