Best uniball choice for the rear trailing arm
 
Hi

I've done a nice rebuilt for the suspension set with a 3.0SC
RSR sway bar bilstein mill lac etc ...


I installed also Uniball for the rear trailing arms

I choose the one from Rebel racing.

after 15,000 miles one is doing noise ..... lateral play


purpose is not to complain about a brand ... it's competition parts.

As I should replace both ... and it's a little time consuming I would like to choose the best uniball solution for the rear trailing arm

I see
Elephant Racing solution
Tarret Solution
Rennline solution (I think it's Tarret rebranded)


what's the best solution in term of longevity ? (I do not ask 100,000 miles)

thanks for sharing your feedback

You don't need to get new parts from Elephant or Rebel, you can press out the spherical bearing insert.. and replace it.. You may have to measure it to match a suitable replacement, or there may be a part number visible. The inserts are just help in with a circlip..

Spherical bearings

Pic from Rebel site showing the bearing the part number is out of focus or obscured

And yes replace both..

Thanks

Need to find the correct size to change just the spherical bearing

Seems price is close to the replacement part from on if the brand elephant or other …

rennline fitted

no more noise ...

seems I have a lateral play with the washer before

we notice also for one arm the uniball insertion is easy (no need to press) to insert it
perhaps an issue here

I will see in a few miles if it's still ok

thanks again for your help
