The Global West Advantage:

The Cat-5 bearing kit allows the leaf to tilt when the car goes over a bump or when the car leans going around a corner. In turn, this keeps the tire firmly planted on the ground rather than lifting which is most commonly associated with leaf spring applications. The amount of traction gained is dramatic when applying power. The CAT-5 bearing kit is the ultimate kit for your leaf spring combination.

The 115SH bearing kit is designed to work with the factory Camaro spring eye dimensions.

Front leaf spring eye dimension 2.000

Rear leaf spring eye dimension 1.625

Note: NO! Excessive arched springs. The leaf spring must be fairly flat for the bearing kit to work properly.

Tech Tips and Requirements:

When installing the Cat-5 bearing system, it is required that you use the shackles and bushing supplied in the kit for the product to work properly.

Watts link can be used with this kit but is not needed. Pan hard rods are not recommended with this system and should be removed if already installed when using this kit.
