but I think something else will be coming along aswell, so lets wait and see. Price is a concern though, as I have no money

U talking about the solid rubber one?
Cause this place will make practically anything out of urethane.
of course it's their own special urethane blends.

Matt- E-mail me to discuss particulars

Jeff was kind enough to point out that my rear tranny mount only has 1 bolt holding it to the tranny when we were installing my tokico/eibachs.


Maybe I should find that other bolt and install it. Better yet, maybe I should find a non broken mount.

Whiteline makes the front control arm bushing for the Nissan Pintara, which is the Stanza over here. It's the same bushing for the Maxima. They also have the rear bushing. They basically have alot of urethane bushings for the Pintara, if it's not listed on their site (www.whiteline.com.au) then write them and ask specifically for the J-30 or U-12 Pintara.

What Mike said...

the front lower control arm has two bushings- one on the front and rear of it.

The front bushing will be fairly easy to create, the rear one will be a PITA.

I don't see why would you want to bother fabricating it since there are a lot of Australian companies that are making them for our car. Noltec is one of them.

Well, if you do decided to fabricate them. Just make sure you could beat these whacky prices at:

and still able to retain some profits for yourself.

The biggest issue on it is price. The website pricing shows $100 per side on the front bushings-- or is that per pair?

Matt it looks like it may be for the pair because it says 1 kit needed which to me would mean it is for both control arms but who knows for sure because it could mean 1 kit needed per side LOL.

I guess we need to email them and find out.

$100 for both sides, there were 4 bushings total but they're sold in two seperate kits, the front was $3x and back was $67. Each one of their kit contains bushings for both sides. However, you could always call them up and ask. Their telephone number is listed on that website also.

Here is some snap shot of my $100 order:

Brian, the bushings are about $30/set from nissan. I think the front one is like $13 and the rear is $17 or so..
usually I buy two full sets (both sides, two cars worth) from courtesy for just a hair over $100....

anyway, they're not too pricey.. send 'em one and see what happens. I'd also like info on some others if these turn out well. (another similar application, but I'm not saying anything until we know the J30 will work. )
