WOD C8T Spherical Bearing – 1/2" ID x 1" OD Replacement
COM-8TF1
The Wide Open Design Replacement Spherical Bearing C8T (SB-08T) is a high-quality PTFE-lined spherical bearing commonly used in Radflo suspension coilovers and other off-road shock applications. Designed for smooth articulation and long service life, this bearing is an ideal replacement for worn lower shock eyelet bearings.
The PTFE liner provides self-lubricating operation, reducing friction and minimizing maintenance while improving durability in harsh off-road environments. This makes it an excellent choice for trail rigs, race vehicles, UTVs, and custom suspension builds exposed to dirt, mud, and repeated suspension cycling.
With a 1/2" inner diameter, 1.000" outer diameter, and 0.390" race width, the COM-8T is commonly used with snap rings in many 2.0 shock bodies.
Includes:
- (1) WOD C8T spherical bearing (COM-8T)

Tech Insight
Spherical bearings allow the shock eyelet to articulate through suspension travel without binding. This helps prevent side-loading on the shock shaft and improves suspension movement over rough terrain.
The PTFE liner eliminates the need for routine greasing while reducing wear under high-load articulation—making it a preferred upgrade for off-road and racing use where reliability matters.
