Construction & Design

The Cusco pillowball bushings feature a robust construction utilizing high-precision pillow balls made from hardened steel or similar durable alloys. These are housed within a reinforced aluminum or steel casing designed for optimal fitment and longevity. The inclusion of rubber boots ensures that the pillow balls are protected from dirt and contaminants, which is crucial for maintaining smooth operation over time. The design emphasizes minimal deflection and maximum load transfer, resulting in a more responsive suspension system that reacts quickly to driver inputs.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the factory rubber bushings with pillow balls, these components significantly improve steering feel and responsiveness. You will notice more direct feedback from the front suspension, especially during aggressive cornering and quick maneuvers. While these bushings do not increase horsepower directly, they support better handling characteristics, allowing you to maximize your vehicle's performance potential. The upgrade also contributes to a firmer, more precise steering feel, enhancing your driving confidence on both street and track.
