Construction & Design

The Cusco Pillowball Front Lower Arm Bushing Kit features a robust construction designed for performance and longevity. The pillow balls are crafted from high-quality steel or aluminum, precision-machined to exact specifications for a perfect fit. The bushings are housed within a durable rubber boot that shields the pillow balls from dirt, mud, and moisture, preventing premature wear and maintaining smooth operation over time.

The design emphasizes rigidity and stability, eliminating the compression and deflection typical of rubber bushings. This results in a more direct transfer of steering inputs and suspension forces, which is essential for precise handling. The kit's components are engineered with CAD software and tested under real-world conditions to ensure optimal fitment and performance. The use of high-grade materials and meticulous manufacturing processes guarantees that these bushings can withstand the demands of aggressive driving and racing environments.
