Trailing Arm Front Bushing spherical bearing conversion
 
Just noticed that PBM has come out with a few more parts and I have been trying to figure out what the "Trailing Arm Front Bushing spherical bearing conversion" actually does. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

its the same bushing that mmr and awr makes. for the outer mount on the trailing arm to keep from binding when you adjust camber and stuff

Thanks, I am blind!. I need to search more, but does the spherical bushing really help with trailing arm travel and binding?

Its not an issue with stock toe arms and camber links normally, when you try and pull out camber it certainly can be. if you convert to the bearings it eliminates the stock eccentric bolt for tow adjustment, so you'll need something like the battle version toe arms.

I see, thank you, I am redoing the entire rear end with the PSM parts so I see that these will help then. Already on the pro-comp coils and need to remove a stupid amount of negative camber right now.. That, and everything on my car in bushing form is shot right now

I've done the same thing to the rear, just all the psm stuff wasn't available at the time. I thought it was going to be a harsh ride, but to me its completely bearable for normal driving.
