Thrust Arm Spherical bearings/monoballs (interested?)
As promised in the Rogue thrust arm thread, I plan on making a limited run of spherical bearings as an alternative to the infamous OEM rubber bushing.
My setup uses top-quality high-misalignment, teflon-lined spherical bearings in a machined 6061 aluminum receiver which is interference (press) fit with the thrust arm.
I'm looking at no more than $500 per set (2 bushings/bearings per set). The more buyers the cheaper the price, obviously.
Pardon any graphical artifacts in the CAD pictures.

"I look at it like this. Owning an M5 is kind of like dating a slamming hot big-t...ed blonde, who is a pain in the *****, drains your cash, but screws like there's no tomorrow. Owning a Honda Civic or the like, is akin to dating a girl who is fat, ugly, smells a bit where she shouldn't, is a cheap date and doesn't screw at all (you don't mind). So yeah, I'll take the blonde." (Courtsey of Jetpilot718)
Any chance of sending to the UK, Matt, what would we be looking at for shipping?
Just tentative though, I received my Meyle HD arms 2 days ago...
Sure, I can ship to the UK! Our United States Postal Service has a flat-rate system that is currently $16.95 USD with a 6-10 business day delivery window.
