[boffdog]

Hey guys im new here just bought my second stagea which is a 250t rs4 m35 my last one was a c34 rs4 rb25det had all the goodies etc on that and knew my way around it well , but this newer version not so well . I am in Christchurch New Zealand and there isnt much info that i can find around here on these cars mine has a terrible knock in the front end its almost a rattle constantly as our city is f#@ked from the quakes so doesn't help. I can see that one of the wishbone rear bush is cracked and worn and the other side doesn't look to flash either has anyone had similar rattling knocking noises too is there anyother models ie skyline v35 that shares the same front end am thinking of replacing the sway bar links but these look odd comperd to the 2wd version any help would be great , thanks

Go to Cockram Nissan ask for Dan in the parts department (he is a member of Skylines Down Under) and see if he can help you. Or you could ask Dale on this forum if he can supply the bushes. He will have the sway bar links (Whiteline not OEM).

I'm on hols currently; but I'll happily help you with part numbers etc if no one else comes to the rescue in the meantime.

What's the general consensus on rubber bushes over neoprene bushes ?

I started pricing nolathene, but saw a few negative reviews, same deal with superior, and whitelines website confused me (mind you, confusing me isn't difficult)..

I am needing to do the front end bushes, and figure that if I am doing the front, I may as well do the rear..

Always open to suggestions and recommendations..

Cheers in advance
