The rear toe link bushings are responsible for controlling toe of the rear wheels. Rubber bushings allow the toe to change substantially during cornering, resulting in the loss of your alignment. This causes increased wear on your tires, reduced grip, and unpredictability of the rear end. The spherical upgrade holds the alignment under load, keeping the toe where it was set at all times.
Construction
We use only the highest quality motorsport-grade PTFE-lined bearings for best performance and lifespan. We use high strength 7075 aluminum for the bolt sleeves, and 6061 for the bearing cups. Bearings are interference-fit into the cups, so they won’t rattle. Both internal and external retaining rings ensure everything will always stay in place.
Please note that lifespan will vary based on the application and driving conditions. Spherical bearings do have moving parts, so they do wear. Our bearing kits are fully rebuildable. Please contact us for rebuild kits.
Why Spherical
Rubber bushings act like little springs at each suspension pivot point. They allow suspension geometry to change under load, ruining your alignment and causing unwanted handling characteristics like steering wander, binding, camber, caster, and toe changes, and lack of steering and suspension feedback. Spherical bearings do not bind or flex under load, creating perfect suspension joints.
- Maintenance and care
Spherical bearings are known to produce creaks and pops in the suspension as they age. Though we only use PTFE-lined motorsport grade bearings (the best and most durable you can get), we’ve found the PTFE liner is rarely sufficient to keep the bearing fully lubricated and free-moving over the course of its life. We’ve found after a year or two, some bearings will start to creak right as they start moving or when they switch from moving one direction to the next. As they start to wear they will also become looser over time, eventually making a very small gap between the ball and outer race. This gap can cause a noise similar to if you had a slightly loose bolt or ball joint. When these symptoms start to occur, relubricating them with a synthetic PTFE grease will quiet them down and smooth out their movements very nicely. We recommend doing this at least once per year or every 5 to 10 thousand miles as part of a regular maintenance routine. A thick layer of grease covering the exposed parts of the bearing will also act as a moisture and dust barrier, keeping as much crud out as possible. The more often you can clean and regrease, the more life you’ll get out of them. We’ve found with proper care you can get 20-40,000 miles out of a set of bearings.
With all this said, please understand that these bushings are designed around ultimate performance in motorsport settings. With anything high performance will come more maintenance, and these are no exception. Please consider whether you are willing to sign up for the maintenance before going the spherical route.
Installation
A few tips to get these pressed in correctly.
Use a hydraulic press. A typical screw-driven bushing installation tool will not have the strength to do it.
Lubricate the mating surfaces well before installation. This will reduce press forces by around 50% and greatly reduce the risk of damage to the control arm or bushing.
Measure the diameters of the hole and the bushing before installing. OEM (and especially aftermarket) control arm hole diameters can vary pretty wildly. Interference of .002-.007” is ideal. Looser and they may knock around. Tighter and they may require extreme press forces and will be very likely to gall the mating surfaces during installation. If the interference is too high, you can lightly sand/file/ream the hole out until it’s in the correct range.
For easier installation, heat the control arms and cool the bushings. This will reduce the interference thereby reducing the press forces needed.
Make sure the control arm hole is clear of burrs, debris, and any abnormalities.
Usually one side of the control arm hole is tapered. Press the bushing in from that side for easier, safer install.
Wear eye protection and be safe. Press forces often exceed 5 tons. If/when something breaks or your assembly contraption slips, it can be extremely dangerous.

Availability & Shipping
In stock and ships from a US warehouse. Standard Shipping applies to every order — rates are calculated at checkout. Some items may require additional processing time depending on the specific product and current demand. Track your order any time at eurospeed.co/pages/track for a live delivery estimate.
International orders ship via Economy International, with delivery typically 6–18 business days depending on destination and customs.
Delivery time depends on the product. Most in-stock parts ship within days, while carbon fiber and made-to-order items may require production time before they ship. For the specific timeline on any item, check the Availability & Shipping section on that product’s own page — the guide below covers our general shipping types.
Shipping Overview
Depending on the item, free air freight may be available for select carbon fiber components, with estimated shipping around 1–2 weeks after dispatch. Larger hoods, oversized body components, and certain made-to-order items may require sea freight and longer delivery windows. If timing is important, please contact us at support@eurospeed.co before placing your order.
Shipping Coverage
EuroSpeed ships to customers across the United States and internationally. Shipping is included in the price of eligible products for your convenience and covers the initial cost of delivery to your destination.
Import duties, taxes, clearance fees, or customs charges required by your destination country are not included and remain the recipient’s responsibility.
Order Processing & Fulfillment
Every order is reviewed, processed, and prepared before shipment. Most in-stock products are processed within 1–3 business days, though some orders may take up to 5 business days depending on fulfillment location, product type, order volume, or courier pickup timing.
EuroSpeed stocks select high-demand products at our U.S. facility and international fulfillment centers. Because our catalog includes many vehicle-specific and specialty parts, not every product is held in-house at all times.
Some orders may ship through our trusted fulfillment network, which may include verified manufacturing partners, authorized distributors, regional warehouses, and international fulfillment centers.
- Orders may ship from a U.S. warehouse, international warehouse, manufacturer, or authorized fulfillment partner.
- Some products may require additional handling, processing, production, or quality-check time before shipment.
- Orders enter fulfillment shortly after being placed and may no longer be eligible for cancellation once processing, production, or shipment preparation begins.
Custom, Made-To-Order & Oversized Items
Custom, made-to-order, and oversized product categories may include carbon fiber steering wheels, hoods, trunk lids, fenders, front lips, splitters, side skirts, diffusers, bumpers, body kits, widebody components, select spoilers, rear wings, and other large carbon fiber components.
Many carbon fiber items are made to order. Some products may already be stocked and ready to dispatch when available, but if inventory is unavailable, your purchase reserves the next available production slot instead of waiting for a separate restock listing.
Production time: Production can take 1–4 weeks depending on product type, selected options, finish, current queue, and quality-control timing.
Shipping time: Shipping can take 2–10 weeks depending on item size, freight method, destination, customs processing, carrier delays, warehouse transfers, and final delivery location. Carbon fiber steering wheels typically ship faster, with shipping usually taking 3–7 business days after dispatch.
By purchasing custom, made-to-order, or oversized items, you acknowledge and accept the extended production, fulfillment, and shipping timelines associated with these products.
Tracking Updates & Delays
All orders receive a tracking number once generated by the courier. Tracking may take 2–3 business days after dispatch to show movement in the courier’s system.
Certain international, oversized, or freight shipments may show limited updates during transfer between fulfillment locations, warehouses, customs, or final-mile carriers. In some cases, tracking is provided or begins updating once the item reaches a regional warehouse, local carrier, or final delivery network.
Shipping timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delays caused by high order volume, weather conditions, customs inspections, carrier disruptions, production queues, warehouse transfers, holidays, or other external factors may occur and are outside of EuroSpeed’s direct control. These delays do not qualify for cancellations or refunds unless the carrier officially marks the package as lost.
