Anyone try the J&M LCAs with the 'ball' bushings yet?

What is the dimensions of your LCA ends??? I'll see if they'll fit in my existing control arms.

Note: I will not buy new LCAs just for these bushings.

Sorry but we do not have any plans on selling these bushings without the arms.

They look like this:



And the end of the panhard rod looks like this:



Another shot of the trailing (control) arm:



And one more of the panhard rod:



Performance wise...no problems. They are exactly as described by Brian....

The street version have the 3 piece Poly-Ball bushings on both the chassis and axle side of the LCA's. The street/race version has the Poly-Ball bushings on the chassis side and a Teflon lined spherical bearing on the axle side.

yep!

I put these in today, everything fit great and they really made a difference for me! I'm hooking soo much better now, absolutely worth the money. I didn't really test the handling too much, but around town with some spirited driving they worked excellent.

Definately an excellent part!

Have you noticed any difference in the ride quality? Harsher, softer, same?

it seems like the ride was a little bit stiffer because of the harder bushings, but its nothing bad..it feels a lot nicer!
