I will be pulling off my front lower control arms to install some roll center adjusters. I have solid bushings on my 350-EVO upperA-arms. I would like to also get either solid/delrin/urethane bushings for the lower arms as well. The harder the better.

Are they available? Can someone make these for me? I think I remember a few machinists here on the board.

Nismo has this kit:

I ordered just the lower transverse link bushings, it took like 6 months to get them (maybe they have them in stock now). I still haven't installed them...

I jsut saw a company called Whiteline carries urethane bushings. Anyone have these?

I would like to install the transverse link bushing and the compression rod bushsing. Does the compression rod have an inner bushing?

Jet, I did Delrin bushings in my LCA's and it was a disaster. Dont do it. Both arms snapped in half.

you're lucky you walked out of something like that.... and looks with "minor" damages.

The front LCA articulates around its inner mount bushing. Installing a non-articulating bushing gives the results pictured above.

Holy Sh*t!!!

How did it handle until that happened? J/K

Would a urethane bushing be a wise idea?

If Nismo offers the bushing I don't think it would break the control arm.

Urethane or anything flexible should work. Honestly tho, for $160 you may as well just go with new LCA's when the bushings go out.

Larry - there are no aftermarket bushings for the compression rod that I've seen (I just had to replace my rods since both inner bushings were torn). I did the lower control arm ones in my car as well

We have a bunch of the NISMO bushings in stock but unfortunately none of the front LCA ones

I purchased the noltec bushings but haven't gotten around to installing them. They also make a bushing for the lower front shock mount which I picked up cause mine are shot. Did that arm in the above picture fail because it was not allowed to move from front to back?

Did you buy the Noltec stuff here...

...or is there a better place?

I purchased from re_active on ebay. Both sets of front LCA bushings for $65 shipped. You have to message them to get that deal. That was noltec parts #N52991 and N52992

Thinking about doing a lot of the bushings on my car and found Noltec makes quite a few. Any advice would be great.

Check out the new SPL bushings.

Yhere are plenty of people who have done the Whitelines now...Whiteline=Noltec btw We have them all listed on our site, as well as in the vendor classifieds if anyone needs

The new SPL's as mentioned are also sweet units and we've had great feedback from our customers who have purchased them. I'd say they are more track oriented though.

Between the blue "noltec" and black "whiteline" is there a difference? I see one costs more?

Thanks
