Want to reduce bush deflection and change out your tired OEM rear LCA bushes?
Well, we have made replacements, however, they are a spherical bushing rather then a polyurethane or rubber bushing to significanty reduce bush deflection and ensure a much smoother operation throughout the range of suspension travel.
The GKTECH Spherical bush replacements are a direct replacement of the OEM bushes and utilize a PTFE lined spherical bearings that are readily available from any bearing shop (or us) should you need to replace the bearing in the future. It's as simple as pressing the old spherical out and the new common bearing in (COM8T). Great for performance and servicability!
Available for either S13/R32 or S14/S15/R33/R34 LCA's.

Recently refreshed my rlca, install was easy, pair it up with their balljoint!
I'm curious to see how it rides.
Very good product. Don't waste time with poly, hardened rubber etc. Install is very simple and hard to mess up. The tightness of the bearing makes alignments more accurate too. Easy to replace the bearing vs the entire assembly like the SPL sphericals. Good stuff.
these bushings pressed in firmly, and all do their job, bought them to do the s13 anti squat reduction with stock lca, have yet to try them out but quality is amazing
Super easy to install, popped the old ones out, pressed the new Spherical in. Well worth it if your OEM bushings need replacing or just looking to upgrade.
Great product.
For those of you lost on how to install these, there are a few ways to go about removal and install.
Removal/install as follows
1) Burn/melt rubber to expose inner bushing casing, cut inner bushing casing with a dremel, fold casing inward and hammer out. Press new parts in. Support the arm!
2) use a press or vice or c clamp. This requires one extra step. use whatever tool of your choosing to remove the “head” or “lip” of the original bushing casing. Essentially removing it, exposing the front face of the bushing housing part of the RLCA and then simply support one side with a socket or pipe and press away.
Hope this helps!
Cool part but every experienced mechanic is scared to install these and I’ve broke some s13 rlca in the past so I’m out the question. These need a good install video
Hi Charles, unfortunately, we don't have tutorials for every product due to the sheer volume of products that we make (sometimes our media guys take longer making a video than our engineers take to develop a product) but we're always open to suggestions as to what our customers want to see so I'll pass your feedback on. I'd suggest cutting out the OEM bushings rather than pressing them out and the fit on our new sphericals is not stupidly large so they should press in just fine. It's not a difficult job by any means, it's just a matter of positioning the LCA's within a press without loading up the opposite side.
Fast ship, great parts as always! Watch the vid do and they say and it’ll all go well. Looking forward to my next purchase
Replaced all my rubber bushings with GKTech Spherical Bushings now my suspension is silky smooth! With the coilover detached I can move the whole assembly through it's full range of movement by hand. Very excited to test them out on the track. Goodbye bushing deflection and binding!
After receiving the wrong rubber bushes multiple times from other suppliers I was referred to the GK Tech website through a friend, although spherical bushes cost a little more than rubber they are well worth it for the quality and to get a product that actual fits the car!
The parts were easily installed. I bought this item to be use with SUBFRAME ANTI-SQUAT REDUCTION WELD IN KIT. those parts were already installed and it works great
These things have some FLEX. Way more movement than poly or standard rubber. Made the car feel nice and consistent compared to my previous poly bushings. Surprising how much of a difference there is when you reduce bushing deflection. 👌

I purchased these for a Z32 rear lower arm assuming the arm was the same as a S13 lower arm. Unfortunately the bearing was about .010 undersized and would slip through the arm. I reached out to GKTech to confirm compatibility, but never received a response ( i don't blame GKT, as they don't actually list these bearings as a Z32 fitment). I was able to weld the bearing shells into the arms with any issues. For what it’s worth, I also have GKTech bearings in my rear knuckles and FLCA and fitment was perfect, GKT customer service as also always been really great otherwise. 🤘🤘🤘
Hi Clay, thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear that you didn't get a reply regarding your question on fitment to Z32's. I can see you had some back and forth communication with Zac but it appears the email regarding fitment was missed so I do apologize for that.
Goes with your build
Picked just for you 😘
