spherical CA bushings

[KyleTaylor]

I know the e31 bushings are spherical but as usual I want to find a more complicated way...

searching ebay I found a couple spherical bushings intended for mustangs and cameros

Does anyone have measurements of the e34 CA or would anyone care to take some?

If you are buying a non-sealed bearing like that, why not just get the AKG ones?

I didn't realize they offered them. I found them on there now. somewhat of a price difference.

Of course - but I doubt you'll find a domestic part fit our car cleanly.

[KyleTaylor]

I agree. I am sourcing some from different manufacturers.

Sealed is pretty much the only way to go. I have Wokke arms and have no complaints here.

I just noticed theirs... are the simply factory e31?

Could someone tell me why these are half the price of others? I messaged the seller and they say the part numbers are correct, but I could not really get a straight answer yet about if they have spherical bearings... they picture seems to show spherical bearings..

The picture indeed shows spherical bearings and if they are really E31 specific they have to have them installed. On the E31 those were factory standard. But at this price I highly doubt the quality. On my products I'm using Febi/Bilstein bearings and arms from German production. I've seen too much crap coming from far east. And they all claim OEM quality. :nono

If you are not a machinist, you don't have a prayer of installing those. If you are a machinist, you know it isn't worth your time when someone already sells an easy fix.

Lol this applies to so many projects on the forum that people approach. BTW congrats on the wedding.
