Default NEW SPL PRO front compression rod bushings

It's going to be out!! Estimated release - Mar 31 2010 I emailed them asking about it last year and now it's out. http://www.splparts.com/main4/parts/...tmultilink.htm

Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Do these bushing replace the bushing in the compression rods on the 2003-2006 RWD G35? The stock compression rods bushing have been know to tear and make noise and Nissan has revised the compression rod bushings but I was wondering if the bushings in the SPL complete set replace the ones on the compression rods also. The problems with stock compression rod bushings can be found here. http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...l-crap-11.html

Thank you.

Hi Alex!

These bushings replace only the lower arm bushings, they do not replace the compression rod bushings. We may have an offering for the compression rod bushings in a few months...
Solid bushing. Will outlast the rest of the car.



Someone please sticky this so people with cars that have the bushing failure can find it easily.

SG Motorsports tested out the compression rod bushings and passed on their findings to us. For the the steering stop, it is actually located on the axis between the 2 pivot points, so as it turns out it is not affected by the compression rod pivoting.

We are sorry about the delay, the reason for the delay is that we are waiting on a 1" size Endura style bearing (with the slot loaded injection molded liner) that is being manufactured specifically for this application. The Endura style bearings currently only go upto 3/4", and we had to order a large number of these 1" bearings just so the manufacturer would be willing to tool up to make this new bearing. We can use a regular teflon lined 1" bearing but it would be more for a race only application as the liner can "pound out" if dirt gets on the bearing. If there is demand for this race only design right now, I can order up some bearings and have these bushings ready to ship in about 1 week.

I cannot do any introductory specials because that would put us in a pricing conflict with our dealers. However this part is going to be priced VERY competitively with a street price of $157 (MSRP of $185).

They are out now. I tried buying them about 4 times through paypal and it doesn't work. The website is also not secure and I cant buy them like that neither.


FIX IT!!
