Dblock Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I am getting my lowering springs fitted soon. I was wondering if I should replace my bushes as my car is coming to 75k. I changed the bushes in my old car to new oem ones and the car felt brand new "tight" even. Took the vagueness out of the steering. So should I replace the bushes at the same time as loweing with either OEM ones or whiteline OR should I just see which ones are needing to be changed and only replace them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Available in the UK through your local Whiteline dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yes do this. It made a huge differece (Whiteline) to my car at 60k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Ok, who is the uk whitleline dealer as I thought Adam does them on here but if they are cheaper in the uk then even better. I dont want the ride to be much harder so would whiteline ones be better than OEMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Doesn't look like you can buy them direct from the site, but have to go to a dealer? Would it be worth changing all the bushes, or are there any particular ones that wear out more than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download there cataloque or contact a U.K. Whiteline dealer of which there are many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I am keen to replace my bushes, but want to stay on standard springs/dampers. Are bushes a job best saved until suspension needs replacing or worthwhile (cost effective) to just do them on their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I got mine from Adam in USA, he had them in stock, and was a few quid less than any of the UK dealers (i tried a few) arrived from him quickly and all correct, very happy with Adams service Alex is it worth doing the rear ones aswell? If so which or all? There are quite a large number of rear bushs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are bushes a job best saved until suspension needs replacing or worthwhile (cost effective) to just do them on their own? The bushs themselves are a long job, My suspension was all siezed, and required a lot of work, drilling, cutting etc... to get the arms off and the old bushs out. Time wise the time getting the dampers off, is small compared to the rest, so i wouldnt worry about waitingif you want it done. Its going to be expensive on labour anyway!

Adriank Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It was already broken ... The ball joint on drivers side is shot, must of been like it when i got the car. You cant buy the ball joint on its own, so i was hit with a £300 bill to ship one from japan, or a £550 bill to get one from nissan...

jerry3167 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yes do this. It made a huge differece (Whiteline) to my car at 60k How much is the job to change ALL the front suspension bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriank Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Can't say jerry dont think it will cost me much, but it was a good 4 hours + labour, as everything was siezed up. Get a garage to confirm a price in writing before they start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
