How much grease should you apply and where exactly? I'm very new to this.

 

im interested in these armstrong bushings. seems like a good find and theyre relatively inexpensive.

 

Both of my oem compression rod bushings are shot so I am going to replace them soon. Interested to see if the Armstrong bushing is better than the ES bushings.

 

you can get Nismo hard bushings for not much more than that ($54)... part number: nismo 54560-RRZ30

I got mine from mynismo.com a couple years ago (or more? can't remember)... they are on back-order now, but looks like CZP and nissanraceshop.com have 'em.

 

can you give us some feedback on your nismo bushings. youve gone 2 years with them so i imagine they are of good quality. thnx

 

I'd have to look up the invoice to see how long it's actually been (might be longer)... I'll try over the weekend if I have time.

I did a bunch of research prior to getting them, needless to say I was satisfied with what I found... after having gone through two pairs of OEM, these have been without issues (I probably just jinxed it).

However, I don't drive the car much (almost at all these days)... but I have had several track events and long trips... as well as occasional weekend use - I'm not one to say get this, it's best (I think people are foolish to do that)... but I can tell you I've been satisfied and from what I learned when looking into them quite some time ago, others had too.

 

so really theres not enough miles of wear & tear on these bushings for us to determine how solid this part really is, correct? i need this done asap. the colder weather is somehow making mine noisier and its bugging the **** out of me.

 

The Nismo ones are $54 each, two needed. Over double the price of the Armstrong.

 

These look good but you will have to buy 2 if wanting to do both left and right sides.

 

Good catch, I thought it was for two. I guess it comes down to wanting Oem or aftermarket.

 

there are hundreds of thousands of miles... I'm not the only one with these.

 

buy once cry once.

I learned years ago that its cheaper to pay once than go cheap and pay 2 or more times... I'm not just referring to car parts - everything from pillows to shoes to compression rod bushings.

 

thnx for reply ocg35. but hundreds of thousands of miles on thousands of cars doesnt equate to much. i was only referring to your vehicle. agree on your second point. i will pay more if it means not having to worry about it for a long time.

 

for you maybe not, but when I review products it means quite a bit to me... and as my initial post indicates, I found the Nismo to be a good choice when I researched them... and subsequently have been satisfied.

Any updates on the Armstrongs?

Cheapest I can find are on Amazon:
