    There just spherical bearings. The higher load rating the better, but more expensive.

    Bearings






    Some types, images, of top mounts....

    Std ones modified.




    Aftermarket...






    A fair amount of car lowering can be had with mount above inner wing, without compromise to suspension travel


    Some adaptors will be needed to fit Spericals, so they swivel, without bind.
