would you believe it, ive been to nissan today for a price for a tension rod (page 16 under the front suspension section of the online manual). originally i only wanted the bush (as mine has split) but they told me the rod and bush come as a complete assembly. guess how much for that poxy bit of bar....... £115 i couldnt believe it. at least dick turpin wore a mask.. its daylight robbery. Anyone know who is good for parts?, ill try senars tomorrow see if they do em.

 

I had exactly the same situation buddy.

Got mine fron Courtesy (US) for £43 if i recall.

See whos doin' a buy from them now, & tag along.

I found the same.

Get the uprated bushes from Z Centre they're about £45 squid for the pair (or Courtesy in the US as mentioned).

 

I recommend you think about upgrading to polyurethane. I spoke to Chris Witor the SuperFlex importer about their Polyurethane Suspension Bushes, about a year ago, and replaced my (split) Tension Bar bushes. It was under £50 the pair. The garage that fitted them for me have used him frequently since (a lower trade price). This link has more information http://www.racecar.co.uk/superflex

but you can contact him on 07000 787373 (9-1 or 1.30-6).

The problem with Courtesy is the bushes are $50 then $45 for postage to the UK.

I know what you mean though, I need them doing too, and the track rod ends, (I think they are called)

 

Whats the cheapest place here cost?

Too right, I got well and truly hammered with Courtesy's shipping charges. I bought two sets (by mistake) and the shipping was a killer, then they banged tax & VAT on top !!!

I fitted the rose jointed,£225 bargain!What a difference it has made to the car.

New Post Record!

I think the Z Centre here will be cheapest at about £40 plus a couple of quid postage.

Yes I remember the conversation MAC. I was looking at getting those from the States but after the shipping tax and stuff, it would have cost over £350.

FFS! and I thought it was cheaper to import stuff so it is over £100 cheaper in the UK.

Yeah, its not the size but the fact they where so damn heavy, for the postage, then I could see the post man wanting a cheque off me too.

Im trying to arrange it so a mate of mine who goes to New York a lot, can pick some stuff up and bring it back.

But having problems.

OK, I was setting up a group buy for the full kit. But many people wanted odd and sods.

 

goto www.suspension.com

 

you can buy complete kit, to individual parts.
