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 is a performance-oriented replacement for the factory rubber bushings used in the AE86 rear control arms. The solid-metal pillowball design reduces the compliance and movement associated with conventional rubber bushings, creating a more direct connection between the rear axle and chassis.
By reducing unwanted bushing deflection, the pillowball design helps the rear suspension maintain more consistent control-arm positioning during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This makes the setup well suited to performance, motorsport, and track-focused AE86 builds where precise suspension response is a priority.
Each set contains two pillowball bushings with rubber dust boots. A complete replacement of all rear control-arm bushings requires four sets, or eight bushings total.

Pillowball Construction
Unlike conventional rubber bushings that flex under suspension load, the pillowball design creates a rigid pivot point for more precise movement of the rear control arms.
This construction is intended for drivers seeking more direct suspension response and consistent rear axle location, particularly in performance-oriented street, track, autocross, or motorsport applications.
