Strut Top Bearings

Post by Godzilladat »

Guys,

What bearing would you expect to get in a set of adjustable strut tops that adjust camber?

A swivel bearing or a spherical bearing. Trying to figure out what bearing to ask for when looking for a replacement.

should be a spherical bearing.

i think the last set i changed to had 18mm bearings.
if i still have the old ones, i'll post up the bearing numbers...

That would be awesome if you could.

An old set of HKS tops I had seemed to have the "swivel spherical bearing", but these new ones I have seem to be a spherical bearing.

Looking at both a swivel spherical seems to make sense so it allows it to have an angle when adjusting the camber...?
