Default -LG Motorsports Spherical Control Arm Bearings- Install Service




Winter is upon us and it is time to think about next season. Now is the perfect time to go through your suspension and upgrade those worn out and weak stock bushings. Using a bearing in your control arm instead of the flexible rubber units will give you a more controlled feel on track, better performance, and better tire wear to boot!

LG Motorsports offers the same spherical bearings to our customers as we use in our own race cars as kit form for the home installer, and we also can do the install for you!

For $500 + the kit pricing we can completely strip your OEM control arms and install our monoball control arm kit and return ship to you.

Turn around time is typically only a day or two depending on amount of orders to fill. Now is a great time while the snow is still on the ground!

One of the best mods I've done to our car (and a bunch of customer's cars). I can't imagine a track car without these bushings under it. More precise feel, perfectly even tire wear and alignment settings that don't change when you hit the track with sticky tires.

Did you see how much the Pirelli moved on the suspension cam under side loads?

Yeah, instant change in alignment and handling. It's crazy to see how much the bushings really deflect under load. I can't imagine what the car would do with really big slicks and aero.

Thanks. The suspension definitely played a HUGE part in it. There was a noticeable increase in grip over last year which has to be from the drop spindles.

I can't thank you guys enough for the support this year. It is a great feeling to go out to these events and beat up on cars with coil overs that cost 5-6 times as much.

Saw pics of the car! How do you like the new bars, wing, and bearings in it?

Any video on track yet?
