60 mm Radial Adapter, V1
Radialbearings.
A radial bearing that sits between a coilover spring and its lower perch, so the spring turns on a bearing instead of grinding on the perch. Made by Destination Sideways.
V1 sets from the original run are on hand. Ordering is by email while the online shop is closed.

What the bearing does
The perch turns. The spring should not.
This schematic shows a strut with a fixed upper spring seat. The lower perch turns with the wheel, while compression asks the coil to rotate. Friction at the seats can wind up the spring until it releases. With the adapter under the spring, the perch turns on a bearing instead. Motion is exaggerated to show the mechanism.
