Are there any adjustable replacement links for the rear suspension, that do not use spherical bearings?

I am building a 335 for a class that requires use that we don't use spherical bearings, but we also need some adjustability in the links.

The M links are a step up, but still not what we are looking for. Something like the hotchkis links but with a delrin or poly bushing.

We'll probably end up with the m3 links, if they don't approve sphericals. Thanks though.

Try Velocity motorsports. Not sure but they have a bunch of options. Hope this works for you.

BTW. I installed the Hotchkis and they aren't adjustable on the car. You have to pull 1 end off to adjust. They don't have the reversed thread on 1 of the ends.

Most of the M link in the rear use spherical bearings except one that has rubber bushing on one side only. It is OEM so what can they say.

Try contacting Hotchkis directly and see if they can provide you a set without spherical bearings... They may have something in the right size in poly or delrin, or may be able to make some easily.

Otherwise, you'll have to get the Hotchkis and get custom bushings to fit. AFAIK, you cannot get any other links that are adjustable apart from Hotchkis. Let us know how it turns out.
