worth getting or stick to Oe?

 

Not going to ever put the car on a track so is it worth getting after market links or stick with original equipment..your thoughts/recommendations please :confused:

That depends more if you're uprating your suspension or not. I lowered mine and wanted camber adjustment. Then there's stock ones with PU bushes. If yours aren't worn and your suspension is stock, then I'd leave them as they are.

reasonably easy to fit the Nismo Skyline replacement bushes in the stock arms. There is some waffle about the Nismo ones being intended for track use but they looked pretty much the same as the ones that came off.

 

Watch out for some of the pretty coloured anodised adjustable stuff - some are dangerous and fold up. Some nasty pictures probably findable here.

Bushes are worn on the n/s asked Mike f for a cost to replace he said i would have to buy complete upper arm!

Mine failed mot on these bushes in march. Couldn't find replacement bushes anywhere and was also told I would have to buy a complete upper arm. Ended up getting a good second hand one to get me through mot. Still looking for bushes.

What do you guys mean by "complete upper arm"?

Do you just mean the the top link that is usually replaced for adjustable ones?

Nice one Paul.

Got a set of old upper links so will strip them down, sandblast, paint, new bushes and swap over.

Good as new :)

Has anyone ever fitted these? If so how do you get the old bushes out? Do the new ones need pressing in?

Use a bushing press to remove old ones and fit new ones.
