Is there market for monoball rear upper control arm monoball? SyncroDesignWerks

[George Hill]

I would buy multiple sets, this the only rear joint that doesn't have a sealed option, and it kills me lol

I have been running the Rogue RE.247 on my street/track car for going on 6 years with no issues. I plan on installing them on my street build when I rebuild the subframe this month. I stopped by Rogue yesterday and he is waiting for some parts to get them shipped out.

How many miles do you think that would be? Do you drive in the rain often?

~17k miles with several wet track and street sessions. I agree they probably aren't ideal for a daily all season driver but for a my use case that have been fine.

Good to know, thanks

Would be interested if they're the same philosophy as their monoball rtabs (sealed spherical with a replaceable factory balljoint).

SyncroDesignWerks said they will get back to me soon. Keep the feedback coming, would love to see such a product developed since this is the last rubber bushing on the M3. I wasn't a believer in monoballs until I upgraded to SDW rtabs.

Hoping we have something soon. Interested to install these during winter refresh.

Please correct me if I am wrong:

- The bushings in these locations (in red) are not bushings, they are all ball joints if you are using the most up to date / superseding part # ?

In order of most performance (for a street car)

1) Sealed Monoball bearing
2) Ball Joint
3) Polyurethane Bushing
4) Rubber bushing

That being said, I think it it interesting that Rob Gill has been using the RE bearing in the winter and has no significant NVH issues.

The inners are rubber; outers are balljoints.

I'd probably be down with these.

Well, not necessarily.

[Tbonem3]

I wanna hear how a monoball is better than ball joint

[loudspeaker69]

Well, not necessarily.

Please explain.
Maybe I’ve been misinformed.

I still have the OEM ball joints in the garage and haven’t made a final decision of what I eventually want in the rear suspension.

Currently, it’s has Powerflex Bushings in there, but will probably get swapped out.

Just put condoms in the exits, problem solved.
