1in Spherical Bearing 1-3/8 Wide w/Teflon

The 1in Spherical Bearing 1-3/8 Wide w/Teflon is engineered for precision suspension and drivetrain applications where articulation and load distribution are critical. Whether you're building a high-performance suspension system, fabricating a custom chassis, or restoring a classic vehicle, this spherical bearing eliminates binding and allows multi-directional movement that rigid bushings cannot match. Built for enthusiasts and fabricators who demand reliability in demanding off-road, drag racing, or street performance setups, this component provides the controlled compliance your suspension geometry requires.

This 1-inch spherical bearing features Teflon-lined races that minimize friction while accommodating angular loads and misalignment without premature wear. The 1-3/8-inch width maximizes contact area and distributes loads across a broader surface, reducing localized stress and extending service life under repeated suspension cycles. The ball-and-socket design allows full articulation while Teflon's low-friction properties reduce drag and heat generation—essential when controlling complex suspension geometry or managing articulation in tight steering or control arm packages. The compact 4-inch overall length and lightweight 0.84-pound construction make installation straightforward in space-constrained applications.

Fabricators, suspension tuners, and serious DIY builders benefit most from this bearing's versatility—it works equally well in upper and lower control arms, tie-rod ends, sway bar mounts, and custom linkage. If you're upgrading from worn rubber bushings or need to accommodate non-standard suspension geometry, this spherical bearing eliminates deflection and improves response. Verify bore diameter compatibility with your existing hardware before ordering; this bearing integrates seamlessly into bolt-together assemblies and is compatible with metric and standard fastening systems commonly found in performance suspension applications.
