The flat bearing only takes the load from the spring. It needs a bearing there because while the spring will bend, the shock shaft won't (hopefully). i'm with Ben on this one.. i had a discussion with myself a while ago about it when i first saw the T3 bits used with cusco top hats (wherever that page went to). spherical bearings do not take a huge amount of axial load without sufering. thrust bearings can take massive loads. the 25-30mm diameter ones i used for my bodgy tops could take a 2 tonne load!! so anyway, springs do bend, even stiff ones, the top hat will stay fairly parallel to the camberplate unless you have whacky mounting gemoetry which puts the ccamberplate at a funy angle. the top hat will always be in compression against the bearing and camberplate from the spring, but the spherical bearing gets cyclically loaded from the shock... the spherical bearing is needed because as the strut rotates from steering, the angle changes slightly...only a couple of degrees, but if it was hardmounted, it would bind. stock has normal bearings mounted in rubber and that is enough to take up the movement.. my bodgy ones had a piece of rubber between the thrust bearings and the camber plate.. and that seemed to be enough (good old radiator hose ) anyway, what i meant to post was that if i were designing the tops from the ground up, then the design would be identical to the T3 parts... which i did and they are so there's no point me making a second bodgy set is there [Report message to a moderator]
