Suspension refreshments
Hey guys, so my friend has decided to freshin up his suspension a bit, but cant afford struts yet so those will have to wait.. Found something that sounds a bit too good to be true here on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BALL-...item5add937d55
and you get all that for a hundred bucks.. Wonder how long that would last anyway, I forgot what he could replace in the rear.. I know there are the sway bar end links for the rear, but what else is back there? Parrelel links or something like that? How many bushings should he replace back there and what are their exact names? Thanks guys.

that kit should be fine, but I would swap out the balljoint hardware for the original one (nearly had a catastrophic accident because two bolts (third was almost) broke on the ****ty hardware from some eBay bj's. 20k miles, the bj themselves are fine.)
the ES bushing kit will cover the rear suspension, minus the radius rods. I got a pair from ebay, they worked fine (couldn't find just the bushings)

Wow, had no idea AZ sells stuff like that. Btw, that looks like some pretty cool hardware in the left of the pic

Whoops forgot, its the 1 1/4 inch ES 9.5165R is correct. These are the greaseable ones so they are $3 more, but they do sell the non greaseable ones but you would have to order from them. I would recommend this one cause i think all poly or ES bushings should be greased cause its stiffer than stock.

His control arms are pretty bad in terms of rust, but theres tie-rods and ball joints that come for that price. Hes paying for the labor so him burning those old bushings out is gonna run him close to the same Im assuming. And hes looking for some comfort, so the poly parts will probably be too rough.

^ does that even work on our car? i dont think that has to do with handling?
anyway some poly bushings don't really mess up comfort cause its mostly for handling. The roughness would mostly be on the type of springs/struts. I got more poly today! $13 AutoZone for the sway endlinks

sway bar end link bushings might as well replace end links. I have replaced sway bar end links, ball joints, outter tie rod ends, rack and pinion, 4th gen energy suspension control arm bushings, all four shocks, all brake hardware, front rotors, rear brake pads, power steering pump, both front wheel bearings, four wheel seals, both front wheel hubs from Nissan, and four new all season 205/55/R16 tires. That is suspension refreshment.

I appreciate all the feedback guys, but I really don't think my question was answered. The only sensible response was that an 'ES bushing kit would cover that'.. What parts do these bushings go into? Typing in ES bushing kit at ebay or 92 nissan maxima rear bushings comes up with nothing. I dont even know what Im suppose to be looking for.
#27
Ok so I did some digging.. Aside from the rear sway bar bushings, is that the only bushings that could be replaced in the rear? Are those called the parralel link bushings? No wait, now I actually see smaller bushings there for parts I don't know names for. Would love to know where all these bushings could be purchased.

Poly bushings is just the material, its not a brand. Poly is a firm rubber type and firmer rubber means better handling. If you haven't gotten a front strut tower bar (fstb) grab one on ebay and that would be a good start to handling.(since I think you drive a VE, you should look for the 5th gen fstb)
The Poly bushing i got are universal (brand-Energy Suspension). The rear Poly bushings are made for our car and provide a slightly tighter ride.
Search around for suspension upgrades, most handling modifications had been covered already. Good Luck

you want these
Not these for VE (you see how these are straight and doesnt have a bend to go up on the bar)

No problem, Just an update, those poly bushings for the front sways made a huge difference on the vehicle's turn in to the corners, or maybe its just that i had a busted bracket and worn out endlinks? In the end i think it was worth it, rather than a new front sway

Bushings, doesn't make much or even none of a comfort effect on a car. It is based on your struts and springs, best comfort ride would be stock springs/KYB Struts which what i have, but if u want more handling than comfort it would be Eibach springs and your choice of struts, cause and springs other than stock would be a bit more hard, bumpy.
