These bushings are replacements for the soft and binding (non-rotating) OEM rubber pieces in the small link that locates the rear beam suspension.
This upgrade will allow the suspension to travel smoothly up and down, with nearly zero deflection side-to-side. The bushings are precision machined from a self-lubricating Delrin with 7075 Aluminum sleeves.

I've been using it for a while and it makes the rear end feel more precise, without increasing noise or harshness at all. Several others that are already using them have said the same thing. They've been tested heavily by the shops track car as well.

Complete link assembly before the upgrade


Comparing the OEM to upgraded. Note, the production pieces have a lip on one side to perfectly center the new bushing in the link.


Old bushings removed, new ones in


Manufacturer gave me several sets so far, so they are packaged up and ready to ship. Just helping them move parts so they can develop more stuff for us!
Price is only $55 shipped within the US. PM me for any other info.

Thanks!

 

how does it compare to this http://forums.maxima.org/general-max...-a33-sale.html

 

Different function, so it's not apples-to-apples comparison. You can read some discussion here:http://forums.maxima.org/advanced-su...axle-beam.html

These bushings can be made for the QT links. The adjustable link is to move the beam sideways, but it causes other issues and is not the right way to go about it.

The Delrin/Aluminum maintain stock geometry, and provide much better side-to-side control while allowing the suspension to travel smoother than stock.

 

hmmmm going to have to see what i need to do.

 

Kind of a vague response. Reading info on both, I can see how the replacement bushings would be good for a stock spring/ride height set up. But when lowered, it seems the same issues would occur with shifting of the rear beam. Which I understand is what the adjustible item resolves?

 

Exctaly my point. ive never really noticed on a lowred car it throws it off that much, if the adjustable can put it back strait then its the way to go. But if its not really "off" by that much then the bushing replacement would be just fine.

 

Anyone waiting on parts, please PM me for an update. Shipping delayed until first week of April.

Any order placed before April 4 will receive $5 off, if you're willing to wait for shipping.

Thanks!
