Cradle first, then control arms, caster etc... The usual R32 suspension bushes.

I have a set of Noltec cradle bushes. I'll be doing them myself so no doubt the garage wall will have a hammer or two thrown at it. + a few skinned knuckles.

I had considered the solid bushes but decided to fix the problem properly, + I wasn't keen on increased NVH. I heard some horror story's, probably a little exaggerated though. You don't appear to be disappointed with the increased NVH so they must not be too bad. >_<

One of these days I will have to take you for a spin . It isnt that bad at all. It just stops a bit of the roll in the back thats all .

By the way my daughter has been in the back of my GTR since she was 6 months old and loves my car .

You should of heard her the other day when I took it around the block without her

lol.

My little boy (now 1yr 23months) absolutely loves it.

When he's standing he makes broom noises "brooooooooooom" but the funniest part is he leans back as if he's being pushed back by the car. lol

If I give it a little squirt he laughes and then says "whoooooh"

Funny little tacker.

Emma is now 3 1/2 and calls my car a race car . Since its been of the road {8months}{to long} she constantly ask's me when are WE going to take it for a drive.

She also knows a 32 from the other models. {thats like daddy's}

Still laughing about the whooosh and broooom though >_<

I've been to so many wheel alignment places its not funny. And most of them don't want to listen to what settings you want which annoys me more. Eg one person said that -0.5 camber on the front is too much for the street. Yeah right.. Also I wonder about the accuracy of the machines. One place had my camber at -0.5 and then another shop 1 week later said it was +0.5 and I didnt touch anything. Bah I wish I could have my own equipment so I'd do whatever I want. Group buy anyone? lol

possibly ripped off again

but the work shop in question quotted me that price but stuffed me around for 6 weeks and ended up doing it for free. claimed under warranty in the end {they did}. :/

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
