Whiteline bushings for rear lowver control arms
Hey everyone ,
I wanted to share my grief to help someone else out in not making the same mistake.
I was looking for the rear lower control arm bushings that bolts the arm with the spring bucket to the frame of a 2008 G35x sedan on both sides. It's where the camber bolts would go..not to the hub.
Mine were not able to be aligned since the arm bushing rusted to the bolts on both sides. I ended having to cut arm out the car I talked to the folks at B2, who checked and confirmed these would fit, but they were 2mm too large when we went to press them in. The whiteline part number W62996 does not fit.
Since Nissan/Infiniti does not sell that bushing separately, you either have to buy from a junk yard or the dealer. I have never seen any aftermarket arms for that part nor have i seen any replacement bushings that work. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I've had to modify bushings in the past on other vehicles to make them fit. You can lathe poly bushings really easily if you have one available, you can also drill press the centers and pop in new bolt stud sleeves if those are wrong as well. The material is SUPER easy to work with!

FYI i was able to find some bushings that worked out the box. I don't have access to any lathes and such so I kept digging a bit. It is FEBEST part number NAB-330. They were like $11 each on Amazon. **** even if they fail every year who cares, It took me 5mins to pull them in with a large bolt and drill plate with tightening a nut with a ratchet.. The cheapest I could find these spring bucket arms were $170 each so this works.
