Default Aftermarket A-arm bushing...where?

Recommendations where to buy replacement bushings for the front upper A-arms. Nissan doesn't sell them.

Thanks in advance.

We have Delrin with Alum inserts and our new arms come with spherical bearings.

i did a thread on bushings last week - didnt seem like much interest in it as not many postings on it or maybe just a bad post

as for 350evo's a-arms, dwnshft? - they been updated with new bearings you say? any update on the front caster kit add on you talked about in a remote thread last year

and any update on your polyurethane bushing kits?

sorry to hijack thread, or respond to the previous thread please

i also had some questions about your spherical bearing kit

thanks

We are getting 8 sets of arms in this week and then they should start coming in waves after that. The caster kit for it has not gone into final production.

I posted a week or so ago that Energy Suspension is making a bushing kit for the 350Z in the next few months. I would imagine A-arms are part of the kit.

I'm sure dwnshift's setup is better, but metalic bushings are not an allowable mod for BSS in Cdn autocross rules.

Basically I was hoping the 350EVO arms would come with a choice of either polyurethane or the monoball. I don't race so am not sure I want/need the monoball. Don't want to increase any more road feel into the steering wheel.
