Lower Control Arm Bushings

I live in a dry desert climate and rubber does not last. I know that Nissan does not sell front control arm bushings seperatly. Has anyone found a way to install urathane bushings onto the factory arms? Is this too stiff? I contacted Stillen they had no thought on the issue.

Nobody that I am aware of makes urethane bushings for them in the US.
Nissan doesn't sell the bushings seperately, But they are available.
Or you can buy the whole arm for about 50% off dealers list if you want

I sell it both ways.

They sell the bushings, they're just not listed for 3rd gens..

you can get the rear bushing for 3rd gens, but the front one you have to get off a 2nd gen.

Keep in mind you'll need a hydraulic press to do it, and it's about a 4 hour job. not much fun.
I've been doing them with a core swap program for a while.
shoot me an email if you wanna talk business on it.

Thanks All

I reviewed all the responses And appreciate them. Matt93se Offered enough for me to get go'in. I own a press and several other shop items to help improve this car. This is a factory Maxima that I purchased new in '94. This car is in the tweak'in stages but advice is needed. Your web site/forum is excellent the post are great. I have read almost all of them and see a lot of intellegent responses that obviously have been learned by trial and error. I will be posting again and hope to see more info as I tweak my 94 GXE.
