Front ADS Coilover Spherical Bearings (update)

Front ADS Coilover Spherical Bearings (Stainless Steel update)

Part of the Rig Review: What worked and what didn't - winter 2021? Rig Review.

TL;DR - I'm trying something new. I've installed stainless steel spherical bearings this time, hopefully to prolong their life.

So, for anyone following along, my spherical bearings have been an ongoing issue. I've replaced them again, this time with stainless steel versions from FK. Specifically with FKSSX10T-F1 bearings. Time will tell if this fix gives me more than 10-15K miles on a set of bearings. My hope is that I'll get 30K miles or so, since that would mean changing them once a year.
