Axle Bushing

[driftmeister]

Has anyone check on the axle bushes which will rupture when old and there is no replacement parts for it unless buying the whole rack (OEM) which is retail at RM 1800 our currency (around AUD 700+ I guess). This is the main bush (4x big ones) which is on the axle that screw into the main body. Junkyard would have many but probably hardened, will crack once reuse. see pic.....circle red

Anyone has found an aftermarket replacement for this? PU?

Thanks in advance.... :headspin:

They appear to be the bushes for your sub frame, there are plenty of replacement items.....however they are normally stiffer aftermarket "pineapples" Available direct from Japan or possibly locally (we get them locally in OZ)

theyre normally pretty cheap arent they??

about 100 or less for a set?

[RiverSide]

Yeah about that from memory, of course it depends on the type and brand you get.

If they're pineapples (looks like about it for me) I got mine for $60 off some silvia forum... they're just rubber thingies.

Thanks for the advice, as I was told it came with the whole rack itself. Can we actually pump out the bushes & source the silvia's or R32 pineapples? My mechanic was worried that there is no replacement bushes so end up using another junkyard rack.

Is there any OEM bushes still available or is it all aftermarket bushes that's available now? Any brands to recommend? Apreciate your feedback mates.
