You dont need to react a moment on the spherical bearing to cause bending.

Its the mounting point of the spherical bearing that reacts the moment.

More specifically its the fore aft force on the mounting point of the spherical bearing that causes the bending moment on the mounting shaft of the spherical bearing.

ill be installing these on my car shortly and having a test session with alex behind the wheel.

I wish you guys could see the product up close, the rod end is fairly large in size compared to the other adjustable arms that were made by other manufacturers.



ill post later how the arm performs.

But you never did, so what happened? I am looking to design an adjustable upper arm kit for the S2000. It will actually go through FEA testing before the part design is finalised. Then the prototypes will be rigorously tested!

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that will be interested once you see what we have in store.
