Hi there, Garage charged 3 hours to do all of them (I assisted) even though it took 5!! Pushing the bearings out was not a problem as we had access to a 12 ton bearing press, the problem was loosening off all of the ball joints, bolts & nuts, split pins etc. Defo not a driveway job even though I hear people on the forums saying it is, maybe on a new 350, not a 10 year old one! As requested ... this is the link - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171223144872 Regards

These are the ones I bought ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171223144872 This is the Prothane Kit for Upper, Lower and Compression (Banana) Arms ... as a keen B-road driver here in Norfolk I have Noticed an Incredible difference in the ride and handling of my 350 ... I browsed the reviews from the states on various vehicles all with positive things to be read. Clark Motorsport - I somewhat agree with you and I was waiting for a Trader to say something tbh, however as with tyres expensive doesn't always mean better. I.e, I dislike Bridgestones RE040 & RE050 which I definately find overpriced considering I have replaced these with tyres almost 50% cheaper and with this came a better ride and higher performance! Below is Prothane's Warranty- ''PROTHANEâ„¢ warranties all it's urethane products to be free of defects in materials and workmanship (not due to abuse, neglect or misapplication) for the total time the vehicle' I can't compare these to SuperPro or Whiteline... but what I can say is that over stock, times better! Car feels so much more responsive giving greater confidence in both cornering and high speed straights. I personally can't see how spending 3 times as much could be more beneficial to me. Hope this helps all ...

I had the exact same symtoms... ended up changing all the front bushes (upper, lower, compression arms & anti-roll) and the drop-links too! Was quite labour intensive but so so so worth it My story -> http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87055-front-bushes-prothane-from-usa/ Hope this helps!

Pics now back up!!! Did a clean-up of my Photo Bucket account and moved pics around... all sorted!!! I really can't believe how much SuperPro charge for similar poly bushes!!! Now have the confidence in the corners and even on the fast straights the car feels more sturdy A+++

Just did the full set of front poly bushes on mine! I would say a MUST ... 'For the same price as a full set of bushes (nearly £1k)' .... ehhh £126 from the USA for Upper & Lower Control Arm Bushes with the Compression/Banana Arm Bush too http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87055-front-bushes-prothane-from-usa/ Suspension feels slightly stiffer and the car in general is so so so much more responsive

Finally got to do the Lower Control Arm and Compression Arm Bushes with Drop Links while there! My God what a difference ... I have never had poly bushes but have always heard that they make a significant different... WOW ... what a difference!!! Upper control arm bushes tomorrow as time ran out! Car feels totally different in the best possible way, bushes were a little squeaky at first but after a little bit of silicon grease it was all sorted... sooooooo happy! Especially for £126 all in for all bushes... would 100% recommend these!

3 weeks in and wow ... I really do love this car!!! Got a full set of Poly Bushes (Upper, Lower & Compression Arms with Anti-Roll Bar bushes too) in possession from the US (Prothane) and just waiting to get fitted as a lower control arm was an advisory on MOT ... in my mind it should have been a fail as I can literally feel the suspension moving laterally under me in a heavy turn :/ ... but this gives me even more to look forward too Will do drop-links also and am very tempted to do front shock absorbers while I am here too!!! Will let you all know how it goes... Brilliant, Brilliant Forum btw

I found this also ... the first 1 inch maybe even more was just 'free-play' on my clutch pedal, felt like I was kneeing myself in the chin before I made both of my adjustments (wife couldn't even drive the car)!!! Adjust the microswitch with a 14mm spaner to loosen the locknut and screw it abit for the desired outcome. This switch also acts as the 'stop' for the clutch pedal

It's me again 3 weeks later after this adjustment .... I went a little too far with the treads and clutch pedal would stick a little before returning to rest position... I had simply adjusted too much (about 5 treads) However it only took a small adjustment (1 tread back in) to make the biting point perfect with a clean return back to rest... Also adjusted the microswich in a little bit so as the stop the pedal from coming up to high... I have mine adjusted so it sits just a little below the brake pedal A+++ Mod ... so much more drivable! Unfortunately the wife now loves it ... urghhhh !!!

Haven't got the chance to do these yet... but they bloody well need doing quite soon! How many hours labour would you say I should be looking at for Upper, Lower and Compression Arm bush replacement? + Drop Links?

Got an advisory with the MOT on purchase, both lower control arms bushes! Was not prepared to spend superpro/oem money so looked at the US market as I have previously done with my RX-8 and Impreza... and thought this deal was worth sharing Took the zed for a proper Norfolk drive when I first brought her home and Stability Control was kicking in where it shouldn't have! The collapsed OEM bushes are dangerous on a hard drive!!! Very Dangerous :/ Can't wait to get these fitted! Got these to do while I am there too ... front Anti-Roll Bar Drop-Links

Just got these from the states... Bushes for Compression Arm, Lower Control Arm, Upper Control Arm, and Anti-Roll Bar. All for £126 including shipping and no tax surprisingly ... Superpro ones would have been about £370! Arrived today and will keep updated on the process of fitment, which I plan to do myself... with the help of local garage to press out old ones. Only bought my 350 a few weeks ago, a 2004 with 43,000... but the handling has since shocked me and with further inspection/searches on this forum, I knew this was the route to take! Let's see how it goes ehh!

Just carried out this adjustment and WOW!!! A+++++ Clutch engages lower down and pedal now sits just below brake pedal... So much better Thanks alot!

Well, it's been a great sunday... Adjusted the clutch pedal as I was almost kneeing myself in the face to pull off!!! Followed some brilliant instructions on here and I've now got shorter travel and a lower biting point Well Chuffed Thanks again for all the welcomes.

It must be my postcode then ... interesting to find out how much rates really do vary!
