See the ripped boot/split metal on the top right of bolt, its the cause of my knock in steering wheel when i do a sudden jolt to the left.

iam on the search for a new one and i need to know the correct name for it. Drivers side Front suspension.

much appreciated. thanks team

Easy to change too, after doing a couple i have learnt you can do them on the car if you need too :)

any few pointers on how to get it off cos i thought the whole arm thingy has to be unbolted with the whole disc rotor out n that..

hmm urethane bushes thanks good advice i was gonna go oem but yeh urethane whiteline it is.

Yeah thats how i did the first side on mine, but if you swing the arm out (protect your guard with somthing) you can tap the old bushes out with a hammer, you just need to hit them at the right angle and they will dislodge and come flying out (I mean that literally too lol).... As for putting them back in i used a huge pair of multi grips but you can use a nut and both with washers or other methods if you are skilled on the tools.

Okay I know this is an old thread but I still haven't got around to changing these Bushings still. Cos had the car re-sprayed and I didn't drive it since then cos I was overseas...it's been about a year since I Haven't changed it and I was gonna go on track next Monday for the first time... will it be alright if I did, I mean taking corners a bit hard or not.

I drove around some winding roads last week and thrashed through the corners and the car seem normal after. And now do u guys think that it will be fine if I went in track?

Cheers ! Thoughts?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
