how longs does the spherical bearings last...?

This is the slippery slope you travel when you go solid/spherical. Once you start to have any play, rattle, it is time to replace.

Same goes for all Porsche solid, tie rods, links, control arms etc.

I've had various spherical pieces last years to one event. Driving on the street kills them quickly.

Suggest NHBB as a replacement - in my hands they seem to last the longest but YMMV.

I have had spherical bearing toelinks installed for years.....but the car never sees winter. I also have boots covering them so this may prevent grit ingress and wear

Some here. Admittedly the mileage has not been high over the 5+ years and it doesn't see a lot of we or salty weather. I had Fluoros.
