Top Control Arms (upper Wish Bone) Need Help Asap

[SysLink67]

I went to a suspension shop recently to get a quote to correct the negative camber that my Tein coil overs had created becuase the ride hide had dropped.

I got a quote for a full 8 x polyurethane busht kit etc made by superpro fitted for $475. Today I go there and they tell me cant fit it becuase the top control arms are aftermarket and use bearings so bush's cant be used and that I will need to replace them with stock ones.....

So my questions is does anyone know if I can use a R32 GTS-T control arms for my GTR. I called nissan todat for the part number and he they were the same part used for both GTR and GTS-T can anyone confirm that or have part numbers cheers.... need help quick.

Cheers

well you can use aftermarket arms for gts-t and gtr

im fairly sure they are the same.

if you are just gettin them to put bushes in and make them adjustable, it will be fine

actually I was just looking at this today, the part numbers are the same.

Its unusual to have non-adjustable aftermarket arms, you are a bit unlucky.

so then I can use R32 GTS-T front top control arms for my R32 GTR correct?

To the ohter guy I already have aftermarket arms. My proplem is they said they are not adjustable...... or could it be he is trying to rip me off or... he said they are ball bearing.... so they must be ok...

yep, they will fit.

it is a little odd that you cant adjust rear aftermarket upper arms. i am assuming you're talking about rear as you dont get heaps of camber from lowering it on the front.

but the guy is right, if they have spherical bearings, you cant replace these with bushes.

perhaps you could post up a photo of the arms?

No im talking about the FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARMS man left and right.

oh, yeah, i have seen non adjustable upper arms with ball bearings in them. i have some but theyre adjustable

are you really that bothered with the camber?

how much do you have?
