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.

:sick:

:O cheers ;)

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!

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!

Thanks for the replies guys!

:)

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

:P cheers :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
