    Has anyone tried these on a road car?

    I’m refreshing the front end of the car and have bare wishbones to fit.
    To me it looks like the metal bearing is housed in polyurethane, wondering if these would be too harsh on a road car.

    Have them on the rallycar, yes, quite firm.

    The biggest issue with a spherical bearing, is its perfect, or worn

    And when worn, they're awful.

    Stay about a 1,000 miles away from that shite - unless you're tracking the thing.

    I'd say so Neilo, especially with the bad vibes you got from the subframe bushes.

    If these are for track only, why is it Powerflex purple? And not the black series, which is also for track use? :lol:
