SPL Parts Adjustable Caster Rod Bushing Set

2016–2019 Cadillac ATS (Alpha) Front Suspension

Part #: SPL CRB CAM6

Overview

The SPL Parts Adjustable Caster Rod Bushing Set is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the front suspension of the 2016-2019 Cadillac ATS (Alpha). Engineered to replace the factory rubber bushings, this set utilizes advanced spherical bearings to deliver superior handling, stability, and responsiveness. Whether you're a spirited driver, track enthusiast, or someone seeking improved suspension precision, these bushings are an excellent choice to enhance your vehicle's driving dynamics.

By replacing the stock flexible bushings with low-friction, articulating spherical bearings, you'll experience a more direct connection between your suspension components and the chassis. This results in more consistent caster adjustment, reduced bushing deflection under load, and improved feedback during braking and cornering. The upgrade helps maintain optimal suspension geometry, ensuring your Cadillac ATS responds predictably and confidently in demanding driving conditions.

Key Features

The SPL Parts Adjustable Caster Rod Bushing Set incorporates several innovative features designed for durability and performance:

• Massive 1" FK Racing Bearings: These high-quality bearings are constructed from durable materials with self-lubricating Teflon liners, providing smooth articulation and long-lasting performance.
• Adjustable Design: The set includes CNC-machined offset bearing spacers that allow for precise caster adjustments, enabling you to fine-tune your suspension setup for optimal handling and tire wear.
• High-Quality Materials: The spherical bearings are crafted from corrosion-resistant metals and engineered for maximum strength and durability, even under aggressive driving conditions.
• Reduced Friction & Deflection: The low-friction bearings eliminate bushing deflection, resulting in more predictable steering response and improved feedback during dynamic driving.
• Enhanced Suspension Geometry: The design maintains proper suspension alignment under load, helping to improve braking stability and steering feel.
• Easy Installation: Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, these bushings require minimal modification and are compatible with the factory suspension components.

Construction & Design

The SPL Parts caster rod bushings feature CNC-machined offset spacers and high-performance spherical bearings, ensuring precise fitment and reliable operation. The bearings are constructed with self-lubricating Teflon liners, reducing maintenance needs and preventing wear over time. The use of robust, corrosion-resistant materials guarantees longevity and consistent performance, even in harsh conditions. The adjustable spacers allow for fine-tuning of caster angles, giving enthusiasts the ability to optimize handling characteristics for street or track use.

Performance & Sound

Upgrading to these spherical bushings significantly improves suspension response, providing a more direct and predictable steering feel. The reduction in bushing flex translates to sharper turn-in and better feedback, especially during aggressive driving or spirited cornering. While these bushings are not designed to alter sound levels dramatically, the increased precision and reduced deflection contribute to a more confident and engaging driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

The SPL Parts Adjustable Caster Rod Bushing Set is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that requires no cutting, drilling, or complex modifications. Basic mechanical skills and standard tools are sufficient for installation. The set is designed to fit directly onto the factory suspension components of the 2016-2019 Cadillac ATS (Alpha), ensuring a secure and precise fit. Proper alignment is recommended after installation to achieve the desired caster settings and optimal handling.
