Control arm bushings

Will this fit my 93' gxe. i cant find es bushings for a 93'.

7-3111
$ 35.00 from http://www.suspension.com/nissancars.htm

Or should I be buying them somewhere else.

Also, all instructions I see state that I should remove the large ball joint nut and take the balljoint out with the control arm. Any views on removing the three lower bolts instead and leaving the ball joint on the hub.

yes those will work.
you do need to modify them though.
A little search will yield lots of information

I thought these are only the front bushings. Does this set include the rear bushing too (the one that needs to be cut to a V from i_i ). Is the set 2 bushings or all four then ?

Is this the best place to buy poly bushings?

Any opinions on this part.

doesn't matter much which way you do it. But if your bushings are bad chances are so is your ball joint
that's why I sell the complete arm with the bushings and ball joints more often than the Bushings OR ball joints alone
