ACL Aluglide Main Engine Bearings
By adding silicon as an alloying element to the aluminum-tin family of bearing materials, the material has been upgraded to a next-generation performance material. With global mandates for lead-free vehicles now in effect, this is currently the choice of most OE manufacturers. A further advantage of aluminum-tin-silicon bearings is their superior wear resistance, which extends the service life of these components.
However, please note: not all aluminum-tin-silicon bearing materials are the same. The carefully selected alloying elements and heat treatment used by ACL have been proven through rigorous OE testing and are truly lead-free.
Features
- Superior toughness achieved through alloy composition, casting, and heat treatment methods
- The tin phase of the alloy provides lubricity and a low-melting-point liquid lubricant
- The relatively hard surface of the aluminum alloy significantly reduces wear
- Because the aluminum alloy is significantly softer than the shaft material, any hard particles of any size are embedded rather than scratching the shaft
- Aluminum-tin-based alloys are inherently inert to known contaminants
- Ideal for general-purpose applications requiring reliability and long service intervals
Applications
- 1993–1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse (7-bolt)
- 1993–1997 Eagle Talon (7-bolt)
- 1993–1994 Plymouth Laser (7-bolt)
Benefits
- High strength and durability
- Maintains consistent clearance
- Improved fatigue characteristics
- Enhanced bearing retention

Before Ordering
〇Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At the Shaftoya shopping site, we cover the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there are no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Checking Compatibility
As our entire product database is based on North American vehicles (USDM), please confirm whether parts can be installed on Japanese vehicles (JDM) before placing your order. (If you are unsure if a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will investigate for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our homepage, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○Regarding Delivery
Shipping costs are paid at the time of payment. Shipping estimates are automatically calculated when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, the actual shipping cost may occasionally differ significantly from the automated calculation. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
All products are generally shipped internationally from our U.S. warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping within Japan, international shipping takes about 7 to 14 days, so please order with time to spare. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm delivery times. Note that all items are transported via air freight; they are never shipped by sea freight.
○Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
All products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please understand that they are not compliant with the "Japanese vehicle inspection system," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar items for such purposes. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival of your order. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside of Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging or the product. We will only provide returns, refunds, or replacements for products with shipping damage, defective products, or products different from what was ordered if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Please understand that for products sold through us, warranty-related support will be handled "exclusively through us." Please note that we do not provide support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
