IRS Rear Vertical Links Black Anodized With Spherical Bearings

 

Suits 2015-2018 Mustang S550 5.0L V8 and EcoBoost
 

2015-2018 Mustang IRS Rear Vertical Links Black Anodized With Spherical Bearings J&M Products, J&M Products has designed and manufactured all new Mustang Billet Aluminum Vertical Links for the 2015-2018 Mustang S550 GT, EcoBoost and V6 constructed from aircraft grade 6061-T6511 aluminum. These all new Vertical Links feature super high strength spherical bearings and incorporate CNC machined billet tapered and reducer bushings for the perfect bolt-in fit.  The use of our specially designed spherical bearings instead of standard bushings provides a vertical link that eliminates deflection and provides consistency in the rear suspension geometry under the most demanding conditions.

Unique to these vertical links are the special built to J&M Products specification spherical bearings that are utilized at the subframe/suspension mounting locations where traditionally the bushings are made from delrin or a polyurethane material. Available finishes are bare machined aluminum, red and black anodized.

The spherical bearings are made from 52100 heat treated steel/hard chrome plated ball; the bearing race is heat treated 4340 chrome moly with a load rating of 78,000 psi when most others are rated at 48,000 psi. The bearing liner is not the typical PTFE liner but rather made from a thin sintered bronze wire net impregnated with PTFE powder giving it great load capacity and longer wear; this is the same liner material that is used in modern ball joints for a maintenance free long life.
