Angrybiker Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Been told at service that n/s front and o/s front bush's are deteriorated, they couldn't find bushes separately and the full arms are £250 each from Nissan. Any chance u can get aftermarket bushes? I've just paid for insurance, new shocks and a P2 service. I could do without this additional cost Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 You can get new bushes for certain parts, but I'm sure that there are some on the banana arms that need a new arm if they have gone? PM ZMANALEX or Clark Motorsport as they will be able to tell for definite (And will have stock of the bushes arms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybiker Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 No worries thanks. I trust the garage, have used them for years. It was just on the off chance that forum knowledge might save me a few quid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 We do the bushes here - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_66&products_id=195 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybiker Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 According to the service report its the "lower arm rear bushes" on nearside and offside front. Are these included? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2orry Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The forum name for the arms your looking for is banana bar or arm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybiker Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks. My knowledge of cars is pretty much limited to where fuel goes and what each pedal does Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrybiker Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Next question: do the banana arms tend to go faulty? Don't want to replace the bushes then need to buy the arms anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yes, you have two wear and tear items on the compression rod. The bushing can be replaced, however the ball joint can not as it is part of the compression rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboutthepasty Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've just opted for the arm as opposed to replacing the bushes for that reason. Car has done 69K so may as well just do a proper job first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybiker Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks. New compression rods it is. in addition to the p2 service, MOT, new front shocks and insurance that I've bought this week...

KyleR Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Just buy the bushes, the ball joint is a much rarer fail item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
