Spherical bearing on shocks on a DD

Post by 4_low »

Im looking at getting a set of profender shocks for my current daily, Im just wondering if there is any change in the way the vibrations are transmitted or if it is no different? Also if anyone knows if in QLD it is illegal to run them on the road or is it not a problem

I didn't notice any vibration difference when the King Coilovers and remote res shocks were fitted to my FJ Cruiser. But the ride and handling improved by heaps!

ive got SRC's in my wagon (which run the spherical bearing setup) and I live up the Cape and do a LOT of gravel road driving and so far mine are holding up well and cant say they transmit vibes any worse than their rubber equivalents.
