Restore precise clutch and brake pedal feel in your classic Ford with this needle roller bearing bushing repair kit from California Pony Cars.
Worn pedal support bushings are the direct cause of side-to-side pedal movement, sloppy engagement, and imprecise brake application. This 6-piece kit replaces the original bushings with steel flanged needle roller bearings and direct-fit nylon bushings, delivering smoother pedal action and longer service life than a standard plastic bushing replacement.
This kit addresses the bushing components of the pedal support assembly. For a more complete repair that also includes a new heavy-duty pedal shaft, see our full 13-piece kit TRA-643-716.
Made in USA. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Why Upgrade to Needle Roller Bearing Bushings
- Eliminates side-to-side pedal movement — needle roller bearings maintain precise radial alignment, removing the lateral play that worn plastic bushings allow
- Smoother clutch and brake feel — rolling-element contact reduces pivot friction for more consistent, controlled pedal operation
- Longer service life than plastic — steel flanged needle roller bearings outperform and outlast standard plastic bushing replacements
- Direct-fit installation — no drilling, cutting, or bracket modification required
- Made in USA — manufactured by California Pony Cars in Ontario, California — not an imported overseas kit
TRA-643-717 vs. TRA-643-716 — Which Kit Is Right for You
- TRA-643-717 (this kit) — 6-piece bushing repair kit. The correct choice when your pedal shaft is in good condition and only the support bushings require replacement
- TRA-643-716 — complete 13-piece kit that includes a new heavy-duty pedal shaft, needle roller bearings, nylon bushings, shims, spring wave disc washer, and self-locking retention pin. The correct choice when your pedal shaft shows wear or you want a full one-time repair

Important Notes
This kit addresses the pedal support bushings only. If your pedal shaft shows signs of wear, scoring, or lateral movement beyond the bushing contact surfaces, the complete TRA-643-716 kit is the recommended repair. For best results, remove the pedal assembly from the vehicle before installation and inspect the pedal support bracket bore for cracks or distortion before installing new bushings.

Installation requires standard hand tools. All components are direct-fit replacements for factory bushing locations on all listed applications.
