bird Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'm thinking about replacing or refreshing all the suspension bits and bobs. So bushings, ball joints etc. Painting all the arms and legs etc. wheres best to get the full lot of bushings and ball joints and that?

GRMAGNUM Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Did mine last year, i got polybushes and rear steer joints from concept z performance Most poly bushes went in easily but one was tough took a lot of goes but got there eventually. Good luck with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with yours. Did you do the front and rear? And which did you go for? Energy suspension?

AndrewG Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Personally I would go with Nismo bushes. They are a little harder than stock but avoid the harshness (and prone to squeaking) that poly bushes can suffer from. They are however more expensive their poly equivalents. You can get them from the states or from Japan. The attachment gives the part#'s. nismo z32 suspension bushes.pdf Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible.

GRMAGNUM Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Yeah red energy suspension bushes if you lube properly squeaks should not be a problem, i have no squeaks. I did front and rear , i renewed lower suspension arms which have ball joint in them. And also renewed rear ball joints on hicas Made big difference to handling on bends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trade jimmer Posted February 12, 2020 Trade Share Posted February 12, 2020 Most of the Nismo ones are NLA now in the states the last time i checked.Shame as they were the best choice in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks guys. More of a technical question here, but what needs to, or most probably should be adjustable on a lowered car? The blue one has a few adjustable arms and things, but they certainly look past there best at a glance.

JaiKai Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 When i done my rebuild i replaced everything i could aswell as the top arms which are fully adjustable. I'm now riding with 19" wheels and a perfect alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones28 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If your suspension needs changing you might as well change all the bushes, you don’t have to buy everything new can be a tad expensive.

Bones28 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Have to inspect and see what you need. Quote 2002 Porsche C2 996 3.6 1991 Nissan 300zx TT Project 1995 Nissan 300zx TT Crashed 🥲 1997 Jaguar XK8 Scraped ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I'm going to do all the bushings where there are some. The what is needed scenario is more about whether I really need to have adjustable bits etc. Like FUCA's when some prefer the shim option and that.

GRMAGNUM Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I just renewed bushes using a vice and plenty of the white grease supplied with the red energy bushes which I bought from concept z performance rear cost around £70 posted . Fiddly but not hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRMAGNUM Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hiicas ball joints needed press to get out, if you try in situ aluminium arm could easily break.both of mine were shot so needed to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Go with NISMO bushes. Avoid ALL rose jointed /MIDORI style suspension links at ALL cost. They're dreadful, I can't emphasise that enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
