Spherical Plain Bearing
SAF-Holland

A spherical bearing in suspension linkages serves as the pivotal articulation point that accommodates angular misalignment while carrying substantial radial and axial loads. The design reduces friction and wear at joint interfaces, enabling smoother suspension geometry changes as the axle moves through its travel. This bearing type supports reliable articulation of control arms and links within the Truck & Bus Suspensions family, contributing to consistent wheel alignment and predictable ride behavior under varying loads and road conditions. Its rugged construction is intended for heavy‑duty fleets, resisting contamination and shock loads that can degrade performance over time. Proper maintenance and timely replacement preserve steering and axle geometry, reducing vibration transmission to the chassis and improving tire contact quality. VMRS: 059-001-102. Category context: 42764 identifies it as a key suspension bearing component. Cross references: none listed. Fleet maintenance teams can source straightforward, OEM‑aligned replacements to maintain linkage accuracy and ride consistency.
