Those with ES Bushings please check in...
I've read a lot of threads about the Energy Suspension bushings, but until now I had never really considered them. I am not looking to get the control arm bushings simply because of the install, so this thread is only dealing with the FSB bushings (7-5118G) and the FSB Endlink bushings (4803G). All in all I can get all the bushings for ~$25, but I'm really looking for durability here. Improved suspension is great, but I'd rather sacrifice some improvement for bushings that last over 30k. Albert and sinewave both report having torn ES bushings relatively quickly, but do the new ones have these durability problems? http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....energy+bushing
The Courtesy part numbers are listed are slightly different from the part numbers at suspension.com so maybe these bushings have been changed since their intial mold
If you're interested in more info here's some good threads.

So if you have these bushings how are they holding up?

What are the symptoms of ruined bushings? My car has 121K on it and I'm sure the bushings have never been replaced. I've been getting alot of strange clunking from the front suspension that never used to be there, and I'm thinking its most likely the bushings.

Thanks

Nealoc187 - Just replace them, at 121K I'm sure they've been shot for a while now.
