Front outer Upper bush - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

gavoh · 21st September 2008, 10:38 AM

My front top outer bushes have shed loads of play in them shown in the FAST image, i take it that these are the camber bushes that 'WhiteLine' supply etc to alter the camber! but I've got adjustable top arms so just want some non adjustable replacements, on FAST and it only lists the complete arm (at a guess v expensive

)

If replaced with camber bushes do the old ones need pressing out??

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be a great help, yes i did use the search thingy I always do.

Many thanks

I spent a bit of time looking up info on this as that exact bush on my R34 is making a horrible creaking noise and apparently the labour to replace the bushes alone is $$$
There was a suggestion to buy the complete Nismo link & bush kit.
I am not sure exactlly how many parts are needed but they are not as expensive as I feared considering you are getting uprated Nismo parts

That is just the web page i've been looking for

Just had a look at the bush i need part no 54545-rs590 'front third link bush' and it says for all 4 3150 yen which is about £17

that's really good value.

I've fitted the Whiteline bushes all round on the GTR.
The factory ones are a little messy to get out.

I got the rubber bushes burnt out with a blow torch, and then ground down the last part untill I could pry the rest out.

Erm, I think you're mistaken mate... That's each - before you factor international bank transfer costs, carriage, etc. You also require a press & special inserts to remove & fit the new ones. May be better off buying new complete Nismo parts, unless you wanna do as Sub Boy above suggests. Be careful not to damage the original part or the new bushes when fitting...

Yep, i realised that was 'each' earlier today, read the Nismo page wrong (thought it meant 4 per pack!!!). Abbey have some in at £20 each + VAT so will probably get them, we got a press and ways to get old ones out so that ain't bothering me too much.

Yes you do have to be very carefull if grinding the last part of the bush out. I used a Powerfile, but you could use a dremel or a die grinder.
I tried to get them pushed out in a press....But they wouldn't move!
