Does anyone know where I can purchase the two lower control arm bushings, Nissan states that they only have one, and to get the other, you would have to buy the whole control arm at $275.00 for each one. Have not had any luck finding them locally at auto parts stores, please help.

Thanks

I was given the same song and dance.."buy the entire arm". There's a cool place here in Los Angeles (Long Beach to be exact.) It cost me $18 out the door for a Lower left control arm bushing. I will find the number to get it to you as soon as I can.

 

I had the EXACT line said to me. Courtesy parts and < $20 later, I had one.

 

I think www.nissan-parts-dealer.com sells OEM front control arms for $70 each. bushings are extra though...but still beats paying $200+

 

Keep in mind you'll need a big press in order to do it yourself. you also risk ruining the control arm in the press if you're not careful. I completely ruined one the other day in the press because it was slightly bent when I got it. while I was pressing the new bushing in, the control arm just buckled under the pressure. not fun to see something that big flying arcoss the garage.

 

Was that one supposed to be mine?

 

yup, it was my control arm that had problems but I think Matt was able to pick up another at the junkyard so you should be allright

 

correct... I haven't picked it up yet.. no time with school. I'll try to get it knocked out this weekend, Randy.. no promises though. last week of class and if I don't finish everything by Monday, I don't gradumate.

 

Graduation is 100% more important Matt. I have lots to do besides the control arms, so no worries.



If you find a non Airbag wheel or shift **** with the leather in great condition, see if they will throw that in as well.

 

you think these guys get 5 spds in and actually keep them for more than 10 minutes?! HA!

 

Haha, I know I know. Wishfull thinking.

 

Check on EBAY see them all the time for around $25.00 up
