Just ordered them! Thanks for the great prices and service Brian.

 

Hi Brian, Its Friday. Any news on the control arm bushings yet?

 

Yes, I just got a "promised" ship date of the 17th for the ES3111, which means that we'll receive them the 19th and get them out on the 19th/20th.

Very sorry this has taken so long - looks like we'll receive these more than 8 weeks after the initial order in late March.

The rear trailing arm are a pain to remove, we used the torch to break it a part it took us 30-45min each side + re-install time, we used a big C-clamp to put the ES bushing in there, I'm glad it's done. We've installed all the bushing and the car is really thigh.

 

Cattman!!!!!!!!!! Its the 19th, any news on the control arm bushings? I dont mean to bug you or anything, but you know I have my motor mount inserts waiting to be shipped along with that .

Based on what Energy Suspensions has told me, those should arrive today. We'll have everyone's order ready to drop the remaining bushing in, then send them out.

Got the email :-D thanks Brain

 

Got all of mine and they are goin in tomorrow... Thanks Cattman!

 

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES!!!!!! These bushings have totally changed my car's handling. Now, I had 130K on the SE bushings but I NEVER dreamed that I would get so much out of this. Halleleuja!

Although in fairness, I also had the LTB-2 installed at the same time tho...

Body roll is reduced about 80%...!!! (on eibachs... cant wait for the next suspension upgrade!)

 

Hey sorry for not posting before, work 0wn3d me :-(. But anyways, I got the motor mounts and control arm bushings on Monday. Now I have to hunt down a machine shop around here tha'd have a hydrolic press. Thanks alot Brian

 

This friday, I will order all the bushings for my car!!!!!!! About that time.

 

I need a set of ES3111. Do you have anymore in stock and they come with the washers/grease/etc..??

 

any more deals on the bushings?

 

Is this deal still going?

 

Yeah,what he ^ said!?

 

Is this still available? If so I would like the ES3111 and ES5118. Please let me know soon as I would like to put them on when I put on my springs.

FYI.

I just called Brian 520-730-9309 and confirmed (as well as ordered) these are still available at the same prices! Make sure you ask him about ES4803 Front sway bar end link brushings $6.99 which is not mentioned on the first post (might be buried somewhere in between).

Thanks Brian for the deal!

 

Does any one has successfully intalled the motor mount on an 2k1 auto ?

Cheers

Does Cattman have a toll free # that I can call from canada?

 

is this GD still going on?

 

from what i know....it is still going. Called Cattman to order but the rep told me to email Brian for the deal...emailed him but havent heard back from him yet.

 

I just found out that my front control arm bushings are busted and is possibly causing the car to vibrate on the highway. So is this deal still going? I believe I need the front control arm bushings for a 1995 maxima.

 

I have a spare set of front LCA bushings (that I purchased from this group deal). PM me if you are interested.

 

not to jack tthe thread but look www.suspension.com...

 

+ NEW - ES5125 23mm front swaybar frame bushings for 00-03 Maxima SE - $21.95 (MSRP $30)
+ ES1116 Front lower subframe set 1995-2003 Maxima - $21.95 (MSRP $26)

I am going to order these. Are they in stock? Also the ES1116 is only for the front. What about the rear ones?

Thanks

 

Sorry, have just been to busy to monitor this thread (and I'm not getting email notifications for some reason).

I can sum things up by saying that we have all of the ES bushing sets for the 95-05 Maxima in stock (as of 21 August), ready to ship. The prices at the beginning of this thread are still good! All will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail and up to the full 95-99 or 00-03 master sets will fit in one box and ship for a maximum of $8 (+ insurance if over $100).

Please order the bushings through our 520.730.9309 Cattman office line.

Not to accuse you of not doing your homework, but what's your point? Our prices are lower than most of theirs already.

Its our preference to take the bushing orders through our office line, 520.730.9309, but if you don't have access to long distance during the day you can call that into 800.759.9920.

So what all bushings do you offer for the 6th gen as of August 21st? Price?

 

anyone have diagrams to help with the install of these? i thought they came in the box, but apperently i guess i didnt get any...

i got all three sets for the 4th gen:

sway bar
control arm
lower front sub frame connector bushings...

 

Are you certain of that? I just checked in the boxes, and all of the parts above have directions in the plastic bags with the bushing parts, except for the front swaybar endlink bushings (which don't come with any, but are pretty obvious).

Very much wish we had a the entire master set for the 04+, but the only ones out there (that I'm aware of) are the polyurethane bushings that come with the 25mm Progress rear anti-roll bars we sell for the 04-06. If you don't have a rear swaybar on your car yet, you'll definitely want to make that move.

brian, please also clear my third question.

Also the ES1116 is only for the front. What about the rear ones?

Thanks

 

Sorry about that. ES only makes the ES7108 rear trailing arm set ($64.95) for the rear.

Not sure what you mean about the ES1116 lower front subframe set. It comes with 4 bushing pairs, two for the front of the subframe, two for the rear.

Just found out im an idiot. I guess when i first got them i took out the dam diagrams and put em in my garage? oh well, thanks haha

 

so what's the final verdict on the MMs...do they fit autos or not (w/ or w/o modification)? I'm hearing the same amount of responses for both answers...

 

I can tell you what I know. The mount bushings will not fit in the front and rear stock motor mount frames that come with an automatic Nissan - well, actually they do fit, but too well - they will fall right through the hole because its too big.

That leaves two alternatives for auto owners. It should be possible to install a pair of stock mounts that came in a manual, and obviously you could obtain those as new or salvage. There is a flat and a convex side to each bushing and you need to pay attention to the way the stock (auto) mounts are oriented so you press the bushing in the right way.

The second method, for the more adventuresome, would be to modify the mounts you have to accept the smaller ES bushings. I have a customer who said he had a machine shop roll flat pieces of 10 gauge stainless into a precisely-sized cylinder that was pressed into the bushing cavity (I'd make sure it was carefully spot-welded around the edges), to reduce the diameter and then the ES bushing was pressed into it. The inside of the stock bushing cavity is a smooth bore, so there's no ridges or other contours to replicate. There would probably be a number of ways to do this, with the basic objective of reducing the hole size until its the same as the stock manual mounts the bushings were designed for.

There you go, that's all I know.

Actually brian the auto rear and manual rear mounts are the same 3.5" dia regardless of model. It's the auto front mount thats different which is electronically controlled and 4" dia. Which only the gle and se came with. The gxe has the same 3.5"dia front mount. This info applies to the 4th gen for sure i'm not sure about other gens but 5th gens should be the same.

 

salvage mounts should be cheap

 

I have some spare mounts for a 4th gen that will work with es inserts. I'm not sure if there the same as the 5th gen though. I will sell them for $40 shipped if your interested.
