Construction & Design

The Cusco Pillowball Bushings feature a robust design utilizing high-precision pillow balls crafted from race-grade materials. These pillow balls are engineered to eliminate compression and deflection common with standard rubber bushings, providing a more direct transfer of forces from the suspension to the chassis. The bushings are housed within a durable, high-strength metal casing that ensures longevity and consistent performance under demanding conditions.

The inclusion of rubber boots serves to protect the pillow balls from dirt, dust, and moisture, which can degrade performance over time. The overall design emphasizes durability, precise fitment, and minimal maintenance, making these bushings suitable for both daily driving and competitive motorsport use. The components are manufactured with tight tolerances, ensuring a secure fit and optimal performance enhancement.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the factory rubber bushings with Cusco's pillowball units, you'll notice a significant improvement in steering response and cornering stability. The direct connection provided by the pillowballs results in more immediate feedback from the road, allowing for better control and confidence during aggressive driving. While these bushings do not produce additional noise, the increased stiffness can lead to a slightly firmer ride, which is typical for performance suspension upgrades.

Installation is straightforward for those with basic suspension knowledge, as they replace the existing upper arm bushings without the need for cutting or extensive modifications. It is recommended to have the suspension properly aligned after installation to maximize handling benefits. No special tuning is required, making this upgrade a convenient way to improve your vehicle's handling characteristics.
