Anyone know the best place to get a set of Terrano R50 Rear control arm busings? preferably aftermarket so they'll last longer...

Cheers

Which model is the R50? I used bushes out of a early Terrano rear end. The only place I could find new ones was Cockram Nissan and they wanted $80 each :shock: :shock: I thought that was crazy :!: :!: :(

Its a 96 Terrano 2.7TD

Do the older shape bushings just fit straight in?

Shock shop quoted $700 to do all 8 bushes including 4 hours labour and an alignment (using genuine Nissan ones at $49ea)

Just got quoted $46ea for Nolathane ones (at trade).

I put aftermarket rubber bushes in the lower rear arms on my Surf.
They lasted 1 trip !!!!!
Know using second hand arms with stock bushes.

Also Took 15 tn to press out the old bushes.

Bushes done :) only needed one side in the end.

$13 each trade at partmaster for aftermarket rubber ones.

Made a huge different to the feel of the truck.
