Description

The CUSCO Front Lower Arm Pillow Ball Bushings are high-performance suspension upgrade components designed to replace the factory rubber bushings in the front lower control arms. Available in sets for both the front side and rear side of the arm, these pillow ball bushings eliminate bushing flex, dramatically improving steering precision, turn-in response, and front-end feedback for maximum control during spirited and competitive driving.

Product Highlights

🎯 Precision Pillow Ball Bushing Design
Replaces the compliant factory rubber bushings with rigid pillow ball (spherical) bushings, which eliminate deflection and provide a direct, mechanical connection between the lower control arm and the chassis.

⚡ Transformed Steering Feel & Response
By removing rubber bushing flex, these bushings deliver immediate steering input response, sharper turn-in, and enhanced feedback through the steering wheel, allowing for more precise and confident cornering.

🔧 Direct OEM Bushing Replacement
Engineered as exact replacements for the factory front lower arm bushings. Available in two sets:

• Front Side Set (1C7-464-BV): Left and right bushings for the front mounting points.

• Rear Side Set (1C7-464-CV): Left and right bushings for the rear mounting points.

🏁 Competition-Grade Front-End Control
Ideal for track use, autocross, and aggressive street driving where minimizing suspension compliance is critical for consistent handling, tire contact, and lap-time performance.

⚙️ Maintains Proper Suspension Geometry
Unlike solid mounts, pillow ball bushings allow for necessary rotational movement while eliminating unwanted lateral and longitudinal flex, preserving proper suspension articulation without compromise.

Installation & Performance Notes

🔧 Professional Pressing & Alignment Required
Installation requires pressing out the old rubber bushings and pressing in the new pillow ball bushings, a job best performed by a qualified shop with proper suspension press tools. A full front-end alignment is mandatory after installation.

⚠️ Increased NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness)
As with any solid or spherical bushing upgrade, drivers should expect an increase in road noise and vibration transmission into the cabin. This is a trade-off for the significant gain in precision and feedback.

🎯 For Serious Performance Applications
These bushings are recommended for vehicles used primarily for competition or aggressive driving. For street-focused builds where some compliance is desired, consider CUSCO’s urethane bushing options instead.
