Where To Buy Replacement Pillowball Bearings For Hks Coilovers?

[Medium Dave]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone might be able to tell me where I can find some replacement pillowball bearings for the strut tops in my HKS hipermax coilovers? I have been searching on the interwebs and it seems that they wear out quite frequently, being a spherical bearing of course they would and I would have thought they werent so difficult to locate, but I cant find where to get them from? - Or if they are just totally unavailable, what can I do/use to replace them? - I would be happy with a rubber mount - I just want something that doesn't sound like a datsun 120Y

Thanks in advance

UAS had some HKS pillowball mounts on it's shelves when I went in today.

Didn't get a price or anything tho, and they don't seem to have them listed on their site.

Maybe it's worth giving them a call.

I would think that any bearing place could source the correct size spherical bearing for you?

cbc bearigs or any bearing shop have them. just a normal spherical bearing. you will need to pull it out and show them as a sample..

Cheers Dave, thats what UAS actually recommended I was thinking that no way they would be a standard bearing! Happy to be wrong this time tho! -I will see if I can find out the specific type/part numbers and post them up should anyone need in future

most spherical bearings used in shocks have a teflon liner

i have replaced a few

a normal spherical bearing with out the liner or bush will cost aprox 25

a teflon lined or bushed spherical bearing will cost around 90- 140

teflon bushed have a much higher load rating

u may need a special tool to remove the bearing from the shock top

i had problems finding the exact size i needed , had to mod/machine the tein top

i got my last lot from SES linear bearings , milperra, 9792 7188
