I'm not sure those are sold individually even by the dealer. Your best bet is to either go with nismo hard rubber or whiteline urethane bushings ( I have them and they are awesome) or if you want nothing but the best SPL solid spherical bushing (even better but $$$)

Hey thanks for the offer! Only problem Im having is trying to figure out which bushing to get. Im pretty sure I need the Bushing for the front right lower control arm (outer bushing), Im having a hard time finding the white line in that description. I just had my lower, upper control arms changed and there is still play in the tire, they recommended I get new bushings and ball joint now...

hmm, im not quite following. There are really 3 control arms you need to worry about: the upper A arm, which usually doesn't show wear issues as far as i kno, then there is the lower control arm, which is perpendicular to the length of the car and attaches to the coilover (this one has no ball joint), and finally the compression rod which is the curved arm that has a bushing at one end and a ball joint at the other and is roughly parallel to the car.

The two bushings that usually go first on our G's are the INNER lower control arm bushing (the arm with the coilover attached to it) and the compression rod bushing (the curved lower arm). Whiteline, SPL, and Nismo make bushing for the lower control arm , as for the compression rod you can either purchase a bushing by SPL or a stock replacement straight from Nissan (they made it available as a replacement piece after it became known that there is premature wear that occurs with it).

So if you had both your upper and lower control arms changed, then the only thing remaining as a cause would be the compression rod, which are ~$170 a piece for the whole arm or ~$20 a piece for nissan replacement bushings ooor ~$170 per set of 2 SPL solid replacement bushings, which coincidentally I ordered today for my car
