New Bearings For Ikeya Formula Arms

[boo5td6]

Need to get some new bearing for the traction rods, caster rods and lower arm.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as I have not heard diddly squat from Ikeya

Thanks

How can I find out which ones I would need?

Any other brands I should look at?

You measure them and match them to a product catalogue from your preferred supplier.

For example.

I have ordered replacement bearings through RHD. Try them.

Yeah RHD are not very helpful.... And PerfectRun are not even interested in talking to me unless I bought the product from them. WTF! Apparently their supplier wil not deal with anyone apart from their customers....

Anyone else ?

Take the arms into somewhere like CBC/Consolidated bearing company. They'll be able to source replacement bearings. You'll just have to get them swapped over.

Alternatively, QA1 and McGill motorsports sell compete spherical bearing rod ends as replacements. Just get the right thread and bearing type.
