This bearing replaces the factory-designed rubber bushing, featuring all weather seals that capture the spherical bearing to keep the elements out and keep the bearing operating maintenance-free. Next, our pendulum arm is also machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum to connect the bearing housing to the subframe mounting bushing. Finally, the whole assembly is locked into position using our Billet \/ Polyurethane Dogbone Mount Insert. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Spherical Pendulum Mount Kit allows for smooth power delivery through the driveline and straight to the tires, all with very minimal chassis feedback to balance comfort with performance. A must have for any vehicle driven aggressively!
