Default front lower arm bushing.

Alright so i put my car on the lift to do an oil change and then i realize my front lower arm bushing is ****ed up.. <a href="http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/cideanalgia/?action=view&current=020608_1257.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g243/cideanalgia/020608_1257.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
...so my question is if anyone knows where i can buy this bushing or if im going to have to go to the dealer and buy the whole arm?

Check with a dealer for sure, but this site shows the whole thing as a unit, it's not broken out into individual part number:

I believe you can buy a replacement bushing for that. If that piece is the front lower transvers link then Nismo has a hard rubber bushing for it.

Not sure how much a shop would charge though to have it pressed in. But still probably cheaper than buying the whole arm.

Performance Nissan had the Nismo bushings at one point in time. Just call Andy to see if they still have the one you need.

I had the exact same thing happen, first to my passenger side, then my driver's side a few months later. I had to buy new arms each time, about $180 from the dealer (cheaper at worldpac).

Then I found out about the Nismo bushings for them, so I ordered a left and right bushing for them about a month ago but haven't received anything yet. I ordered from mynismo.com. They said they were ordered from Japan but couldn't tell me exactly when they would arrive. gotta love the car business..
