Bushes For Front Upper Control Arms?

[petgts4]

Does anyone know where to get replacement bushes (urethane) for the front upper control arms on an R32 GTS-4? (same as GTR).

Called Pedders and they have no listing...

Nissan only have the whole arm available each for $200+...

Many aftermarket ones use ball bearings, and was told that it's really easy to replace the bearings, but what about the normal rubber/urethane bushes for the stock item?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers.

Try Whiteline (they seem to only have a camber kit that uses urethane bushes), or Noltec (probably the same).

Noltec sell the bushes, offset bushes, or fully adjustable arms with new bushes.

Thanks for the replies so far guys!

I've attached a pic of the upper control arm from my car and just needed to confirm that this is the stock one, because i saw a pic of another R32 one that looked a lot different (maybe it was a gts-t one?).

Not sure but it looks like my one is adjustable and it might be ball bearing.... can anyone confirm this from the pic?

If mine is the stock bush one, then the whiteline kit (KCA336) sounds like the way to go. SydneyKid, i'll let you know if i need this! Thanks!

nope that is definately not the stock control arm and the bushes everyone else mentioned won't fit in that one.

The one you have is adjustable. And rooted.

Went down yesterday and bought the bearings from Bearing Wholesalers for $4 each (needed 8) and chucked them in after a thorough clean of the control arms... no more squeaks!

They will last about a month before they get full of dirt, grit, brake dust and water. Eventually they will start squeeking again.
