boo50 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 hello everyone. does anybody used spherical bearings suspension parts? I'm planning to produce a front lower arm for my lexus is200 with spherical bearing to castor adjustment. we're already produce one for test, but bearing what we use is a crappy one. i need advice - where to get a good spherical bearing with internal diameter 22mm. ideal will be spherical bearing rod-end with internal diam. 22mm with seals i've found one, but noone sell it here in Russia or international via internet. this is a german company Fluro D=22mm seals like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Since you have such good diagrams why not have them manufactured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 i've found them on Fluro web site, this is a German company. but noone here in Russia sell them and i can't find noone online distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 What i am suggesting is find a engineering company and have them make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 strange idea for me. i think better to find a producer and buy, than find an engineering company which will produce just four bearings for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 well im now in germany mate so can get the bits for you if you want, when i was in the UK i used several companies for the bearings and for rods aswell. drop me a pm and i will sort something out for you regards your test arm ....do you have enough wheel clearance i have found a few places in japan that sell the arms i can look into getting those aswell, but there pretty expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 thnx Mat, you've a pm. yes you right - the test arm is fitted, but there is such a small space, so we've already a new version, it will be with curvature in middle, like original toyota arm. also I wish to ask TDI, what end is used on TDI Adjustable Rear Toe Control Arm ? and is it enough to correct the camber on the rear side, I've now -2.5 degress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
