Depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to do with it.


OEM bushings, Call Dave Burnette at Southpoint Nissan in Austin, or go to courtesyparts.com


For aftermarket bushings, check out
www.suspension.com for oe-fit poly bushings, or www.blehmco.com for badass heim joint stuff if you want to pretend you own a race car.

a NASCAR sticker'll do him just fine

well can you really quantify the performance differences between rubber/poly/heim? either in sheer force figures, or in terms of seconds shaved at the track?

stock, a Maxima will pull something like 0.82G on the skidpad. mine pulls over 0.95 on street tires and 1.1 on slicks.
That tell you enough?

on suspension.com.

i gave him the part number and he knew right away it was for a maxima. i called a minute later to ask about the washers, and he was already pulling my order. he had the box in his hand and checked it right then and there. i got the box in the mail the next day. i do live a few hours away from them, though.

If you get ES bushings from suspension.com, also get extra grease because they pack a really tiny amount:

When I did the fronts I had to squeeze every last tidbit from those packets. Perhaps I covered areas that didnt need it as much, but I prefer to apply stuff like this liberally.

yeah.. the outer surface on the bushing doesn't need much lube- it doesn't move once installed so you just need a thin coat on the outside of the bushing to make it easier to press together. you want to use the big portion of goo on the inner part and flat surfaces on the outside. that's where the movement will be for the rest of its life.
