The previous owner installed the coil over shocks with misalignment in the upper mount. The urethane bushings don't last long. These spherical bearings can handle the misalignment, no problem. I did have to use a brake cylinder hone to slightly resize the eye of the shock mostly due to the chrome plating on the shock. Problem solved!

I have these on multiple cars. I always build my cars with 5/8 coil over shock bolts in stead of the stock 1/2" ones and never have I bent a mounting bolt in over 17 years.

The inserts were high quality, but I needed to enlarge the shock hole as both the shock and insert were the same size so they would not fit inside the shock mount

Definitely would buy again Bushings

The shocks I bought for Coil Overs came with 7/16" ID Heim Bushings but I thought them too puny to support as coil overs. I was so happy to find these 5/8" ID Bushings that fit right and replace mine. So simple. Precision made, slide them in and replace the retaining rings with new ones that were supplied.

Took 10 minutes to change the ends of the shocks, so I didn't need to return the ones I ordered by mistake.

Wanted to convert my rubber bushing Aldan coil overs to spherical bearings. The Carrera's were about .050 to big but it was worth the try.

Good quality and fit.

I would have liked to have had the option of the different bearing ends when I purchased the shocks originally. Having said that they are a good quality part, fit well, and were easy to install. They are working well.
