so the dealership told me after my oilchange, that my front Front lower control arm bushings were broke, driver side one is gone, and that the control arm moved forward, also that the passenger side one is on its way!
car only has 50300miles, and htech drop spings. also no hard pulls to the driver side, or weird noises coming from the front. i think they r tryin to upsale me. ill find out this weekend. sound weird at all?? like premature wear?

 

Mine were worn out & the drivers side has moved forward....I think probably from wear and strapping it down on the dyno at that spot. It seems to be a somewhat common problem, as I've read other posts about it. You can either get a whole new arm or get a new bushing for it. I think Nismo makes one.

 

After market springs only make it easy for dealer to report mods to Nissan.

 

well the dealership didnt even kno i had drop springs..and i couldnt find bushings anywhere!..and i dont feel like giving them 900+dollars to fix it either..damn. maybe ill just sell the car and buy a new one..

*edit* i looked at mynismo.com..and saw they have a complete kit..but doesnt say anything about byshings for a front lower control arm, but for a front lower tranverse link..is this the same?? thanks

 

I know my lower control arm bushing are out, but I don't have a hydraulic press to replace them

 

I have some knocking too (stock tho). How hard is it to verify a bad bushing? is it visibly obvious?

 

isn't there a poly alternative?

 

i called mynismo.com and asked them about their NISMO hard rubber bushing kit..it comes with 22pieces and has the front lower control arm bushings..or u can buy everything seperate. but shipping for me is a bitch..I live in hawaii..lol

and if i jack up the front of your car u can visible see the bushings a see if there r broke.

and a large C-clamp will work to press the bushings in.
