CUSCO Rear Control Arm Pillowball Bushing Set
For 1983–1987 Toyota Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno AE86 & 1984–1987 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 / 1985–1987 Toyota Corolla Sport GT-S AE86
Overview
The CUSCO Rear Control Arm Pillowball Bushing Set replaces the factory rubber rear control-arm bushings with rigid pillowball assemblies designed for more precise suspension movement and rear axle control.
By reducing the deflection found in conventional rubber bushings, the pillowball design creates a more direct connection between the rear axle and chassis. This helps maintain more consistent control-arm positioning during acceleration, braking, and cornering, making these bushings especially suited to performance-oriented street, autocross, track, and motorsport AE86 builds.
Choose from 2 bushings, 4 bushings, or a complete 8-bushing vehicle set depending on how much of the rear control-arm system is being serviced.
Key Features
- Solid-metal pillowball rear control-arm bushing design
- Replaces factory rubber control-arm bushings
- Reduces unwanted suspension bushing deflection
- Provides more direct rear suspension response
- Vehicle-specific OE-replacement sizing
- Rubber dust boots protect the pillowball assemblies
- Available in 2, 4, or 8 bushing configurations
- Eight bushings are required for a complete rear control-arm replacement
Pillowball Construction
Unlike factory-style rubber bushings that compress and flex under suspension load, the pillowball design provides a rigid pivot point for more precise control-arm movement.
This construction prioritizes suspension response and consistent rear axle location, making it particularly useful for AE86 builds where handling precision is more important than the additional isolation provided by factory rubber bushings.
