Looking To Rebush Whole Rear End With Whiteline Bushes

[ck_chino]

hey guy i have a 94 bnr32. looking to rebush rear lower ctrl arms, rear upper ctrl arms, rear knuckle bushes and finally the subframe bushes, rear lower shock bushes with whiteline products. has anyone fitted these? any issues? sorry to ask guys but i just would hate to order the wrong ones or ill filtting units. i hear of some horror stories from the z32 fairlady guys where some of these bushings didnt fit due wrong outside diameters.

I have done the entire rear end of my R32.

It's a LOT of work. Subframe out.

mine were done by my mechanic when my diff bushes started clunking, it is subframe out and its a big job but your doing it the right way, do it all at once.

whiteline are good, i havnt heard much about them being bad sizes.

when you have it out look at what else you can do easily when the ass end is apart, hicas delete, swaybars, all fluids, hows the condition of your diff, boots, shafts, brakes, suspension components. its better to spend a bit more and do anything else in that area as its basically just money for parts, the labors about the same.

look at prices through KUDOS if you havnt already bout the parts. also are you pressing them out or burning them ect.

@GHO5T so did u use all the whiteline products? Do you have a bnr32? Did you have an issue with height difference with the whiteline subframe bushes? Not sure if burning or press. I would prefer to press. Did you do the rear lower ctrl arm bushings?

Particularly in regards to the subframe bushes: Burning or pressing will depend on whether the new bushings require the existing outer bushing metal shell. Make sure to study your instructions first!

I did all mine with whiteline stuff recently, contact Sydneykid on these forums he has all the part numbers.

It is a job best left to a mechanic unless you want a few solid days' worth of fun. And much harder without a press

OEM bushes are a major PITA to get out, aftermarket bushes go in no worries (unless they're steel sleeved). I've done front control arms and rear camber, HICAS and diff bushes 'at home' - with and without access to a workshop press - and can't recommend enough leaving it to a professional.

If you want to give it a go start with some of the arms that you can pull out of the car completely and see how you go. Getting the metal sleeve out is the worst part. Make sure you use something that matches the OD of the sleeve exactly to get it out neatly. Many people use sockets, some use a hacksaw, neither are the best for this job.

Always measure OD and ID of all bushes before commencing with the swap - my SPF diff bushes with triple-checked part number were about 1mm off (too big OD) with no chance in hell going into the subframe.

Oh and diff bushes can be done on the car if you've got special tools.

Subframe out is a big job as you need to pull the hubs off. For what you're wanting to do I'd say 1-2 days labour at a workshop so you're looking at a couple off grand for the whole rear. Or you can spend a week DIY'ing it

Good luck.
