    bearing inserts for IRS

    Spherical bearing inserts for IRS and lower front control arms. No way to lubricate after install.
    Pack with lub as putting together?
    They are under hot rod parts, but no lubrication info.

    If you're talking about the bearing inserts, which replace the polyurethane bushings as the chassis-pivot side of the control arms, the bearings all press in from the outside. Flanges to the outside of a given A-arm, and press them towards each other.

    I do not have room to put bearings in from outside, makes control arm to wide, need to put in from inside out, lip on inside. Have not checked this to fit inside brackets
    yet.

    As long as they’re opposing each other, they will work. Preferable to have the flanges on the outside, but inside is OK.
