Serious racers finally have an engineered solution for solid
spherical control arm bearings. The Pfadt kit replaces all 16 of
the control arm bushings with mono-ball joints to eliminate
friction and deflection.
The elimination of deflection in control arm bushings has a
number of benefits. The camber required is reduced because no
camber change is seen from bushing deflection. This results in more
consistent lap times and a reduction in tire wear. Steering
response is greatly improved because the steering input is directly
translated into wheel movement with no movement wasted in bushing
deflection. The steering becomes sharp, crisp and predictable in
all situations.
The drastic reduction of friction allows the tire to more
closely follow the contour of the road surface. This means that the
tire stays in contact with the road surface and traction is
increased. This also results in a drivability improvement as bumps
are more easily absorbed by the suspension.
The kit can be installed with no welding or machining required
and can be done in your garage over a weekend. The factory bushings
are pressed out and the spherical bearings are then bonded in place
using a special adhesive.
All components of this kit are manufactured in the USA with
final assembly into the 16 piece kit done in Utah. The replaceable
bearings are Teflon lined for zero maintenance and minimum friction
and are manufactured by FK in Connecticut. The 6061-T6 aluminum
Spherical Bearing housings feature a special anodizing which has
high corrosion resistance and is designed to maximize bond
strength.
This kit is designed to maximize the performance of your
suspension. Due to the nature of this race part there is an
increase in road noise. Therefore we do not recommend this for the
casual street car. However, this is highly recommended for
dedicated track cars.
This kit is the ultimate suspension upgrade for your track car
and there's nothing else like it on the market. Take the final step
in completing your suspension package!
