Im Looking at getting some bushes,I'm just torn between genuine and other brands,
has anyone used these ones or can recomend where to get some from.
its not just the price but I don't want to be doing it again any time soon so for $9 ea and genuine are $25-30 I'm questioning the quality of them.

Also if the back end are flogged out should i replace the fronts while I'm at it ?

Thanks in advance

Give Nizzbits a call and check his price for genuine. I'd buy genuine if you can. No your front won't necessarily require changing.

Check that genuine price with Nissan too ;)

Mate it is recommended you replace the nut on the rear threaded shaft on the radius arm when you take it off as the thread gets damaged.

I am in the middle of working all this out myself... I have to replace a bent rear draglink bar and the radius arms are stuffed and I have a good set here to replace them.

Is it a hard job?? One mechanic I spoke to said it is a prick of a job??

Had a look and it does not seem hard at all??

Any tips.....

Hi guys, I've fitted new bushes on my wagon twice. It's not worth buying anything other than genuine imo. The second time it only took about 4.5 - 5 hours with a spare pair of hands to do all the bushes! Not hard at all!!!

Ive put in radius arm spacers in and that wasn't that hard once you get the nuts cracked, in the end I took one arm off and rolled the diff forwards for the other and that's the way ill be doing it this time also as it was alot easier
