WTB - Ball joint H-beam needle roller bearings

A friend of mine is after some needle roller bearings for his ball joint h-beam - any ideas where these can be sourced ?

Cheers ... Kimbo

I couldnt find any when i needed them so i cut another beam apart and salvaged 2nd hand ones, apparently they replace them with urethane now.

yeah urethane is the way to go

I aint seen origional needle beraings since Jesus Chirist played full back for Bethleham

Thanks guys - from an offroad perspective I'd go urethane anyway, but this is for a mate's Formula Vee - not sure why he's going down that path, although I suspect he's attempting to get the front suspension more reactive - urethane and rubber have some "lag" time associated with them which I wouldn't have thought would be ideal for circuit work.

Thanks anyway.

From customspeedparts in Germany $147 aud which includes postage delivered to your door,for a set of 4.Mick.Im not a eurothane fan they squeak and can require constant lubeing.

That price is better than they were 10 years ago. Dont go urethane, the friction when tight makes the suspension hard and non reactive for street, and if loose for softness, the play in the arms is not acceptable, the orig is the way to go.

Thanks Mike - I'll pass on that info to my mate.
