SPL RLLB 991 GT3

The SPL rear lower lateral control arm spherical bushing kit (RLLB 991 GT3) replaces the OEM rear lower lateral control arm bushings with spherical bushings to greatly improve the precision of the rear suspension. The use of PTFE-lined, F1-fit FK USA spherical bushings eliminates OEM rubber bushing deflection and bind, allowing the suspension to freely articulate without undampened rubber "spring" forces, while also preventing unwanted geometry changes and vague feedback that occur due to bushing deflection.

Technical

Zero Bushing Deflection

Precision Bump Geometry, Every Corner

Compliant OEM bushings deflect under load to improve NVH and influence the handling behavior at the limit. This elastokinematic tuning has to meet the diverse goals set by the vehicle's design requirements, including NVH, component cost, service life, and more.
Our spherical bushing kit is designed for those who prioritize performance and handling precision. This is achieved by eliminating bushing deflection and the resulting compliance steer effects, which makes driving more predictable, and simplifies the kinematic setup in the rear to make dialing in the car that much easier.

Prevent Rear Camber Loss

Keep the Camber, Keep the Grip

The rear lower lateral control arms are an active part of rear camber axis. Under heavy lateral loads, the OEM rubber bushing deflects, causing camber loss and impacting the rear suspension kinematics. Switching to spherical bushings eliminates this deflection, and allows you to keep the camber angle where you set it.

Eliminates Bushing Bind

Less Bounce, More Control, Greater Simplicity

Bushing bind is a significant source of resistance to suspension travel and acts as a rubber torsion spring that resists compression and rebound. This force is poorly controlled by the damper and complicates the suspension model. PTFE-lined spherical bearings have extremely low friction and allow the spring and damper to work more effectively through the entire sweep of the suspension. This delivers a more linear, controlled, and predictable driving experience.

Benefits

  • Improved Handling Precision & Stability
  • Reduced Camber Loss
  • Near Zero Sliding Friction
  • Sharpened Rear Suspension Response and Feedback

Materials

  • 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Bushing Shells

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)

Product NVH Rating

Replacing the OEM rear lower lateral control arm bushings with SPL sphericals will add a small amount of NVH in some driving situations. The OEM arm has one spherical bushing already, so the overall contribution is minimal.

Applications

2014 - 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 / GT3RS / R / Speedster (991)
