16-24 Camaro Front Radius Rod Spherical Bearing - BMR

FITS 2016-2024 CAMARO ( ALL MODELS )
Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION:

Improve steering feel, increase front-end stability, and eliminate unwanted radius rod bushing deflection on your 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro with the BMR Suspension Front Radius Rod Spherical Bearing Kit featuring Part Number BK070. Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications, the BK070 replaces the soft factory front radius rod bushings with heavy-duty 1-inch spherical bearings housed in precision-machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups. The factory Camaro radius rod bushings are designed with soft rubber to absorb noise, vibration, and harshness. While this compliance benefits everyday ride quality, it also allows the radius rod to move under braking, cornering, and other suspension loads. This deflection can produce changes in front-end alignment as the suspension is loaded, resulting in less consistent steering response and handling characteristics. BMR developed the BK070 to eliminate this bushing deflection and provide a much more precise connection between the radius rod and chassis. At the heart of the BK070 are heavy-duty 1-inch spherical bearings surrounded by machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups. Unlike a conventional rubber or polyurethane bushing, the spherical bearing eliminates the compliance associated with the factory radius rod bushing while still allowing the suspension to articulate through its intended range of motion. This helps maintain more consistent suspension geometry as loads increase during hard braking and aggressive cornering. By eliminating front radius rod bushing deflection, BMR states that the BK070 decreases front alignment changes during both normal and aggressive driving while increasing steering feel and stability. This can provide the driver with a more direct connection to the front tires and more predictable suspension behavior, making the upgrade particularly beneficial for performance-oriented Camaro builds where precise steering and repeatable handling are priorities. Finished in a durable Black Anodized coating, the BK070 combines precision-machined construction with long-lasting corrosion-resistant protection. BMR estimates installation at approximately 3-4 hours and proudly designs and manufactures the kit in the USA. For sixth-generation Camaro owners looking to remove compliance from the front radius rod mounting points and achieve more precise front suspension behavior, the BMR BK070 Front Radius Rod Spherical Bearing Kit provides a purpose-built performance solution.

Important Notes

• This listing is for the front radius rod spherical bearing kit.
• BK070 replaces the factory front radius rod bushing rather than installing over or into the factory rubber bushing.
• The kit uses machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups.
• Features heavy-duty 1-inch spherical bearings.
• BMR designed the BK070 to eliminate front radius rod bushing deflection.
• Eliminating bushing deflection helps decrease unwanted front alignment changes during normal and aggressive driving.
• BMR specifically states that the BK070 increases steering feel and stability.
• Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications.
• The BK070 is available in a Black Anodized finish for durability.
• Because this kit replaces compliant factory rubber with spherical bearings, increased noise, vibration, and harshness may be noticeable compared with the factory suspension.
• Spherical bearings are intended for performance-oriented applications where precise suspension control takes priority over maximum isolation from road and suspension feedback.
• Removing factory bushing compliance can provide more direct steering feedback and more consistent suspension behavior under braking and cornering loads.
• A front-end alignment should be checked after installation whenever suspension components affecting geometry or locating points have been removed or disturbed.
• Professional installation is recommended for customers unfamiliar with suspension bushing and spherical bearing replacement.
