Scott Russell Link Bushings

Hello,

The bushings that are used in the rear beam (scott russell link) on my 97 SE Max are shot. I need to replace them but cannot find any part #s. I am referring to the bushings that are circled below.



Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on 1.) where to find them and 2.) proper removal/installation?

Thanks!

You may not find anything 4th gen related, I'd expand your search to the A33 Maxima or Cefiro and B15 Sentra, you may find some more results.

Wait....

[edit] After some very SIMPLE research....

Those parts are so cheap brand new.....

Don't even worry about a bushing just buy the lateral link and control rod brand new... it's under $200 (Part 5 and 6)

There is an aftermarket control rod that allows you to reset the toe if your vehicle is lowered, I'd look into purchasing that instead of the OEM one if you're lowered.

So now this thread should be about how your car feels after installing new rear end components

As for #2...... Ask Max_Dreamer about that

This is true. Their listed prices are more expensive than Nissanpartsasap.com.

No, you're just misinformed.

The price you stated for those two pieces is cheaper than what I can get them for from the dealer.

And I get the lowest price available to offer anyone.

Nissanpartsasap is still a few $$'s higher than me, and that's still not close to $90.
