Orijin Sphericals

INFORMATION Product Reviews

Got my Orijin front LCA Sphericals installed (FINALLY) last night. Figured I might as well–hell I’ve only had 'em for about 6 months now. :giggle:

What a difference. Obviously given the state of my not-quite-rolling-chassis, I haven’t driven on them or anything. But the install was exponentially easier than poly bushings (pushed one in by hand, used bench vise on the other–as opposed to needing a friggin 20-ton press) and they use regular automotive grease, not that nasty sticky shit that feels like KY jelly after 30 minutes of friction turns it into molasses.

Plus the outer ends are blue. How is that not awesome? I hear it adds 3 hp per side just with the blue.

As for ride quality, while I haven’t been able to drive my car yet (durp) with them, I HAVE ridden in a couple other vehicles equipped with different combinations of poly and sphericals, and they weren’t noticably “worse” on comfort. A bit more noisy, but that’s it.

These are non sealed units correct? I would love to upgrade to spherical lca bushings, but I need sealed units because my car is going to see a good bit of street use and I don’t want to worry about them drying up.

define “sealed”.

they have delrin bushings on both sides that sandwich the spherical bearing inside the control arm bushing hole.

i don’t see how dirt can get in.

Thanks for clearing that up. Maybe a better question is the required maintenance on them since I don’t want to be lubricating them every week unless there would be a way to use grease zerks or something similar.

Orijin says little to no maintenance required. I’m presuming that means weekly greasings are unnecessary.

Worst case, I ride these out till they’re too loose to be effective and switch over to Mugen hard rubber or something. :slight_smile:
