Diff bushings + LCA bearing - Steeda vs. BMR

[BMR Tech]

Yup, I agree TJ!

Our bearing in ours is rated to 90,000.

The low(er) cost solution, will either be @55,200 or possibly 82000~ We still have not decided exactly which one we will use in our final design.

You nailed it. They are all more than capable pieces. We didn't pick our bearing specifically based on the load, we look at other factors as well.

Bluemustang - can we take that as support for Steeda since your Steeda bearings are installed & haven't had any issues

Steeda has been designing, engineering & manufacturing parts for over 28+ years ... while making a significant investment in the U.S. with operations in both Valdosta, GA (manufacturing) & Pompano Beach, FL.

Enjoy the bearings as they are built with quality & strength ... they have a ULT Static Radial Load of over 55,000 pounds ... we are completely confident in the design & they are a great buy.

You have several options out there ... that is what makest the Mustang aftermarket a great place ... something for everyone!

Of course! That is definite support. I have parts from both companies on my car.

is an alignment needed after an LCA bearing swap?

Same here, spread the wealth to all our vendors that support this platform. Maybe someday it will be like a Fox body and you can build one from a catalog.

You aren't affecting adjustment arms. I didn't get one. But... may not be a bad idea to go to a friendly place and see where it ends up just in case.

Anytime you take apart the suspension or add a new part it is always best to align the car afterwards. If you don't you may get unwanted steering and uneven tire wear.

i just wasnt sure if there was any adjustment in the LCA (in other words, is it possible to reinstall in a different position than taken apart). im used to live axle where lca was a fixed component (might be the same with irs, thats kind of what im asking i guess)

Will BMR be offering a front LCA bearing like CorteX Racing does?

Minute millimeters maybe one properly installed. As long as you don't remove or alter adjustment points you should not NEED an alignment of your alignment was done properly ok the first place. It's not a bad idea to check because you eliminate bushing flex with a bearing which may affect alignment some.

Kelly said in a thread elsewhere that he was working on something for that. Steeda is as well. The parts for the front suspension are coming now that we've mostly shored up problem #1: the IRS.

I got an alignment after I swapped mine, and it was nearly the same as the last alignment I got and totally within specs.

 

[Rebellion]

I would get the alignment anyways...not because it will be out of spec, but surely it will be slightly different because you removed the sag from the rubber.

One unintentional side effect is that you'll find out that the alignment can be done more precisely. When you align, you'll see that the numbers react well to the movement on the camber arm and toe rod, I assume this is because you're eliminating the bind from the rubber. It will be more time consuming to align because you can adjust it to be very precise. I adjusted mine to be exactly -1.22 camber and 0.12 toe on each side...and they stay consistent even after moving the suspension around.
