SCIENCE
Factory rubber bushings and ball joints introduce compliance in the suspension, which can result in vague steering feedback and inconsistent alignment under load. The Cusco Pillow Ball Rod End replaces the stock joint with a metal-on-metal spherical bearing, minimizing flex and providing a more direct connection between the control arm and chassis. This results in sharper turn-in, improved feedback, and more consistent handling characteristics, especially under high-speed cornering and braking.
