SPL Parts Adjustable Caster Rod Bushing Set

2016–2019 Cadillac CTS / ATS (Alpha) 3.6L, 2.0L Turbo, 3.0L V6

Part #: SPL CRB CAM6

Overview

The SPL Parts Adjustable Caster Rod Bushing Set is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS and ATS (Alpha) models. Engineered to enhance your vehicle's suspension precision, this set replaces the factory rubber bushings with advanced spherical bearings, delivering improved handling, stability, and responsiveness. Whether you're a spirited driver, a track enthusiast, or someone seeking to optimize your vehicle's suspension geometry, these bushings provide a significant upgrade over stock components.

By replacing the flexible rubber bushings with low-friction, articulating spherical bearings, you'll experience a more direct connection between your suspension components and the chassis. This results in reduced bushing deflection under load, maintaining optimal suspension geometry during aggressive driving, braking, and cornering. The upgrade helps support better steering feel, improved feedback, and enhanced overall handling characteristics, making your Cadillac more confident and predictable on the road or track.

Key Features

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

• High-Quality Bearings: Massive 1" FK Racing spherical bearings with self-lubricating Teflon liners ensure smooth articulation and long-lasting performance, even under demanding conditions.
• Adjustability: CNC-machined offset bearing spacers provide +/- adjustments, allowing fine-tuning of caster and suspension geometry for personalized handling characteristics or specific track setups.
• Durable Construction: Precision CNC machining and high-grade materials guarantee a robust, reliable upgrade that withstands the stresses of spirited driving and track use.
• Reduced Friction & Deflection: The spherical bearings eliminate the deflection inherent in rubber bushings, resulting in more precise steering response and improved feedback.
• Enhanced Suspension Geometry: Maintains optimal caster angles under load, contributing to better steering stability and tire wear.
• Corrosion Resistance: Components are designed to resist corrosion, ensuring longevity in various driving environments.
