Hi. I'm in the UK and I have an imported 2003 Skyline 350gt Coupe which knock its rocks off on rough road or ground. On reading forum threads and other articles, I believe this could be due to the Compression Rods bushes being worn. I have had the suspension top mounts and drop link replaced with no change. The car has passed two Ministry of Transport annual tests and even though the mechanics knew it was knocking, they couldn't fail it because they couldn't find play anywhere.
Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but the Compression Rods seem like the best bet now. However, here in the UK, we don't call anything Compression Rods, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the picture of these Control Arms above is what I'm looking for and are they the same as for the 350Z? They are not listed for my car as it's an import, so my VIN isn't recognised.

 

Yup. Those are it. It is the same part for the 350Z.

 

On my car, I removed the arms and replaced the bushing by itself. Saved me some money. U can too if you know someone who has a hydraulic press.

I got em off ebay:

"Compression rod" is a Nissan term, aftermarket will sometimes call it a "front lower control arm towards rear", "front lower control arm with balljoint" or something like that.

 

Thank you guys for confirming that.
I'm going to by some Ebay **** ones and get them fitted. They're so cheap now ..£105 for the pair, even if they last a couple of years, it suits me for now.
