Sliding Pillar Bearings

[Joe_burtenshaw 2]

hello, before anyone suggests it i would love to upgrade to wishbones but don't have the money currently.

I'm looking for the bearings that are used in the sliding pillar set up. also any bushes as i think my set up is missing a few bits.

does anyone have a drawing of a sliding pillar set up where al the parts go and in what order?

many thanks joe

Hi Joe - Have a look at Maca's post on this thread:-

It gives you the Ford part ref.

 

Cheers

Also - If you didn't want to go to Ford for them I fully suspect there would be a suitable size standard thrust bearing that would do the job:-

 

 

Simply bearings stock these:-

Bearings are Sierra tip mount and cheap. Lower bump stop I used an anti vibration mount and drilled it out to fit at the bottom
