Got my meisters fitted today and noticed the bushes look a bit funny !

 

There off the rear left and right sides, do these need replaced ?

 

 

Yes.... There will be more play in them than a playful kitten having a play.

Thought so!

 

Right, how much n who sells them !

Can't remeber how much (not that dear tho') but you can get poly or Nismo ones from DTA, Zcentre etc.. or MJP for oem.

I'd like some new ones too

zedworld did mine... £155 all in i think. Made a BIG difference to the steering!

Thought they'd be easy enough to replace yourself are they not !

I have just had fitted the DW polybushes to the rear of mine, made sense whilst having the hicas eliminator done. Transformed the car buddy. Pretty sure the poly bushes are a much of a muchness but it gives you another option of where to get them/price etc.

that bush looks ok to me actually, they are supposed to have that hole in them. its the shock mounting bush so a bit of compliance in it is a good thing and will not effect handling

Thats right I agree. Mine looked like that when I changed them, no noticable difference afterwards.

I have 2 sets of the rear hubs and the bushes on all of them are the same.

 

Bit confused now but i would like to change them anyway

Why would you install new suspension and leave twenty year old perished bushes in place?

I wouldn't that's why I was asking; I just wanted confirmation !

I ordered a pair of these bushes from nissan thinking mine where shot but the new ones looked the same as the old ones the tube in the middle is offset on the new ones as well .There a pig to change as well there in there tight.

I was purely passing on my experience with my car. I thought my bushes looked shot, so changed them. The new ones looked exactly the same and yes a pig to change with just basic tools.

And afterwards I noticed NO difference.

I appreciate it is good practice to change any ageing bushes just for peace of mind if nothing else.
