I believe most of Koni stuff has a lifetime warranty. I would have went to Koni.

These aren't even on their fucking website.
I'm sick and tired of companies like this telling me the same bs.. yeah.. the car was built 8-10 years ago.. and now i'd literally had MSD, BBK, Koni, etc. tell me "oh, we don't make that anymore.. we can't give you any info, a CARB sticker, nothing"
Fuck em. I'll pay for this before I ask these scam artist companies for a fucking thing.

Ha! Not only were they the wrong parts on MM website, you gotta go to the racetrack..
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..
Anyone??
I may have to take pix lol.

Do the bearings having a logo or part number stamped on it? You can use it to find the original equipment manufacturer for the spherical bearing bushings. Koni doesn't make them, they buy them from someone else.

Nope, they were completely destroyed.. there was little left outside of a metal ring and a piece of plastic.
Koni charges $24 a pop for the teflon raced ones.. 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.
Least it's the correct part this time, so if anyone has these.. I hope they see this lol.
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..
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.
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.....
Torque arm/PH bar was next on the list... unless someone can convince me that an IRS is a better investment.
Thanks.
