This is driving me insane

$30 apiece for little rubber donuts?? Talking about the strut rod bushings that is... I dont need nismo stuff, i dont need expensive, colorful bushings I just need OEM equivalent. BUT i dont need new strut rods either cause the dealer wants like $200 for new ones and says i cant order just the bushings, same with every other parts place in town


whats the cheapest kind of strut rod or TC rod bushing you can get online and where?? as well does anyone know of a company who will not rip me off to ship to Canada???

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pdm-racing.com doesn't have any for $50 per pair? The TC rods are the biggest improvement and worth doing. I wouldn't worry about the other ones. The subframe needs fixing before anything else.

Check this out. I don't think you're looking for all those though.

This thread is stupid.

New OE tension rods are $53.22 each.
ES bushings are $43.64 for the pair, and a direct replacement in under an hour.

You're actually saying "Hey, I know these bushings are very important and help to control stability making the car safer, but I don't feel like spending the money, so what method can I use to get out cheaply".

Why not keep the worn out OE rods if it's such a hassle?

its the bushings worn out. The rods are made of solid steel and last i checked were not a wear item

thanks though

Do not get the ES t/c rod bushings! They are too large and will bind against the t/c rod bracket. You can shave the sides down, but still not worth the trouble. go pillowball or go home~

You guys arent looking hard enough.


Just a random Googled example:
http://www.suspension.com/nissancars.htm

$36.00 a pair.

Do a google search for Energy Suspension part "ENE 7.7105" (S13/S14/Z32 interchangible)

www.summitracing.com has the cheapest i've found on energy suspension parts, and the shipping is FREE. around $110 for the full kit i think.

I was under the impression that ES TC rod bushings would crack the lower control arm. I'm probably just going to get the Nismos from courtesy.
