The DC Integra/EG Civic spherical rear lower control arm (LCA) conversion utilizes aerospace quality NMB (Minebea) bearings in all 6 pivots. CNC turned 4140 HT steel sleeves are precision blueprinted to each bore and tig welded in place. The welded assemblies are then zinc plated. Bearings are painstakingly blueprinted/lightly interference fit to each bore for near perfect stiction and retaining compound augments the press fit. As always, shoulders are used on the ID and OD of each bearing sleeve for added safety factor and a c-clip provides additional redundancy in bearing retention. Bearing spacers are machined from 303 stainless steel.

The DC/EG rear LCA application also includes Delrin shims that install around the forward facing spacers at the inner pivot points. The issue with DC Integras/EG Civics when running sphericals is that the rear sway bar will rotate the rear LCA on corner entry until the bearing sleeve contacts the bearing spacer. This causes some strange handling effects and occurs because the rear LCA is not triangulated. ie. There is only one inner pivot point for the rear LCA whereas there are two inner pivot points for the front LCA. Our Delrin inner pivot shims still allow the rear suspension to freely articulate and retain the benefits of very low stiction and deflection that a spherical bearing pivot provides. However, the Delrin shims limit the rotation of the LCA to a degree or two while their excellent slip and wear characteristics induce negligible friction/stiction. Delrin shims are also used at the rear of the shock mount sleeves to limit excess motion of the shock fork and provide a low friction surface on which the bearing spacer can ride.
