SPC TYPE B UCA Bushing replacement - Polybushing

No stock anywhere from what i can tell.
Buddy emailed me back saying he had no stock in the US or Canada to send me a kit and refunded me.

SPC apparently just zerod/ removed the part listing from their side all together so if i gave you a link or not, They dont have a kit

 

Is the 3d printed spacer required? If I were to find some spec ride bushings. Could i get the xaxis bushings out and just install these? Would the gap close after torque spec or would there be a gap with the spec ride. Really don’t want to deal with the xaxis ride and sourcing someone to press them in. Thanks!

 

It just covers the exposed part of the rubber where the grease would be at.. Doesnt seem to do anything than being a dust cover

 

So is the xAxis the only one available at this point?
I have had to replace the ball joint prematurely and also the bushing once. Wasn't impressed

 

Yes

But there is a new black in color balljoint out. Too soon to tell if its better though

 

Any links or part numbers? The ball joints are normally in black

 

oooooooh NICE! thanks for that, that's great to know.

seems like SPC killed off the old design and now switched to this fully sealed one. should last significantly longer going forward.

 

Just stumbled upon this thread. Anyone who have installed the old-style Spec Ride bushings in their new style SPC control arms have anything to report on longevity, etc.?

I did my ball joints last night under warranty (new sealed design) and noticed my X-axis bushings are on their way out. Want to know what the general consensus is for these bushings in the new-style UCAs (though i gather it’s all positive), especially since there was a bit of a debate on the gap between the arm itself and the bushing flanges. TIA

 

I dont believe that you can find them anymore.

 

I thought so too, but a quick google search showed GBP Performance still sells them, unless these are for a different model Toyota, looking into it still.

I would try for it. I searched a few months ago and didnt find any at the time and spc told me directly that they didnt make them anymore.

 

I did the same and ordered from a website that advertised them...only to have my order cancelled.

 

nope. Haven't looked since putting them in back in March.

 

anyone find a good replacement bushing or am i stuck buying the x axis bushings?

 

Seems like these are in stock

That's not the correct part number. Those bushings are for the an older 4runner. 2nd or 3rd gen.

 

Thank you for catching that!

 

Bumping this back up.

Has anyone found an alternative for the SPC 25476 Spec Ride bushings?

My SPC’s have almost 100k on the existing Spec Ride bushings and I’m in the process of refreshing the front end.

I want to avoid the new junk X-axis bushings at all costs.

Is there a Mevotech equivalent or an Energy Suspension bushing that’ll fit?
