Coil-Over Thrust Bearings are designed to make the adjustment of coilover suspension systems significantly easier. A coil over thrust bearing is a special type of thrust bearing kit that is installed between the spring and the spring seat on a coilover shock. This setup allows the spring seat to rotate with less friction, which in turn allows for easier adjustments to the ride height and pre-load settings. This can be especially helpful for performance enthusiasts and racers who frequently tune their suspension.
These thrust bearings are essential for reducing spring bind, which is a common issue that can lead to noise and difficult adjustments. By providing a smooth, low-friction surface, they prevent the spring from binding as the spring seat is turned. Many kits, such as a trailer bearing kit, include not only the bearings but also the necessary thrust washer components for a complete installation. The use of these bearings ensures a smoother, more precise adjustment process for your coil overs.
