Rear bushing question!
 
OK, i found out that you replace the lateral links themselves - they come with the bushings pressed in - and of course you can redo/replace the rear bar and/or its bushings.....
Is there any other rear bushings to replace?
I noticed the 'arm' that is in front of the wheel....is that known as the trailing link?
Reason i ask is that the parts guy i ordered the links from didn't inform me of any other bushings; i asked him if there was any others to replace, but he didn't indicate thatthere were....

So, if there are, I WANT to order them BEFORE he ships this stuff out!!!

The trailing arm has replaceable bushings. Look here: Bushings.

The bushing master kit will work for everything except the sway bar mounts. And maybe the rack bushings. Of course, if you have a suspension techniques or CMS bar/bars, then the end links aren't needed either, and your probably better off getting the parts individually.

Thanks David,
So the ZX2 LCA bushings AND THE trailing arm bushings are the same as our Pro's......perfect!
That's xactly what i've been trying to figure out.

I got up late, so I figured I wouldn't be able to dyno the car, but still wanted to spectate, so I took the Altima. Turns out that I got in and so I dynoed the Altima. I was a little disappointed with only 195 hp.:)

A local autocross club (SCNAX) will be joining up with SERCA for their next dyno day, so I'll get it done then.

See you this weekend? At Norton?

...ONLY 195hp...where's the other 5? SHAME on nissan!! :)
 
Looks like i'll be able to come Sunday - but just for the morning; that should give me at least a taste of AutoX.....
