replacement pillow balls for suspension

[tim_blair]

i am haveing a very hard time finding replacement pillow balls that cost less than 300 for adjustable suspension

can someone please tell me where to find them

Im having the same problem as you with my cusco camber plates.

Best price i could find was $120 for just 1 bearing

Ive decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to adjustables as whole replacement camber plates were ~$300

What brand are your adjustables?

Ask Bazda

The old saying "You get what you pay for" is especially true when it comes to precision parts like pillow balls/spherical/rose joints.

Having said that, talk to bazda, he can get decent quality joints for reasonable prices.

[Bazda]

I sell a whole camber plate with the pillow balls in them for around $300.
Send me a PM and I can sort you out.

Siren676 - Also send me a PM we have coilovers for starlets in stock.

The ones Siren676 / me want have an 18mm hole though the ball , the OD of the outer race is 33mm , the height of the outer race is 16mm and the height of the hole thru the ball is 20mm. part number I found is MBWT-18.

Ok have written that down will have a look tomorrow

Sorry it doesn't look like I can be much help. The results as follows,
The size is not a industrial standard to any extent. An overseas inquiry came back with we can get them out of japan.however I made the inquiry on four pieces..because that is such a small amount the soul distributor of that bearing wouldn't do me any favors and would be looking at 145bux each!!!!!if I made an inquiry for say ten to twenty of them I'd say they'd be more like 105$ each...if it was a greater quantity they'd probably be substantially less.tho for a small amount including the dhl 2-3day freight it'd be 145each


The only other thing is if the price Siren got 120bux from is a bearing distributor in nz give me there name and I will be able to get it cheaper

[siren676]

Place i got my price from was Franklin bearings Ltd in Pukekohe and i think that was their buy price

Ive decided the cheapest option for me is to just go back to factory top hats and get some of bazdas coilovers at a later date

[jbod]

Fair enough sorry couldn't be more help mate
