With the imminent MOT around the corner, last year I had an advisory on play in the Upper Camber arms. Can anyone recommend if i should stick to the original arms and just replace the bushes or should I get aftermarket replacements. There are plenty on eBay but I'm unsure of the quality?

 

If I was to replace the bushes in the OEM arms, where is the best place to get them and what is the rough cost?

 

Many thanks.

I went with replacing the stock bushes with ones from Nismo. This link covers the details (the first pic with the

eight bushes are the ones 54541-RS580 and 54545-RS580):

Forget last, just seen the price list, just need to convert to ££s.

If your in no hurry bud, I'm fairly sure I've got a pair of stock upper camber arms. Front or rear? Pretty sure I've got both. You can have what you need, that way you can remove the bushes have them shot blasted and powder coated and get the new bushes in. Proper job...if you want of corse. Il have a look when I get 10 minutes tomorrow.

If its the front camber arms im sure theres a special notice some play is normal...

What a Gent! If you have the front pair that would be great, let me know how much you want for them and I'll send you the cash; is PayPal ok?

What a forum this is, some truly helpful and generous people. I don't chat on here as much as some, however I can honestly say that without this site I think that I would not have enjoyed Zed ownership as much as I have. Cheers, Tony
