This spherical plain bearing complete kit for the front axle of your Mercedes-Benz W202, C208 CLK, R170 SLK, W124, W201 and R129, represents the highest level of performance and durability available on the market. Precisely machined CNC parts made of high-quality materials, as well as high-quality, encapsulated spherical plain bearings are used here.
This kit replaces the original rubber bushings of the lower control arms, and depending on the model, also the upper control arms of the front axle, and offers a significant increase in driving dynamics compared to the available PU bushing kits on the market. Ideal for track tools or purebred racing vehicles.
In addition, the design of the upper control arm bearing in the corresponding vehicle models allows for gradual caster adjustment. As is well known, the caster value on these vehicles is originally designed for steering comfort and requires a significant increase for decent performance on the track.
