Z32 Uprights

[shoes59]

Before installing the Z32 aluminum uprights I want to replace all the bushings and seals. Where is the best place to buy this stuff?

im guessing ur talking about the bushings on the upright itself. In that case nissan stealership lol... but if you want sphericals the only option is spl parts as far as i know... def made me and a few of us on here a couple of sets with spherical bearings but thats it... not sure if he'll be making more. I still need the shock mount myself.

I just sold my last set of RSSBs last week. I could make more if there was more interest, but it was a lot of money to have tied up for a long time to make a few bucks. I did it more as a favor to the community, because I don't actually make any money until I sell the last set(yes, they are that expensive).

If I do it in the future I might take deposits, or I moghtbe forced to increase pricing a bit as prices haven't really come down from the huge increases of 08.

On the z32 uprights make sure you have that little piece that goes in the hole for the ball joint to pop through. It can be ordered online from any Nissan dealer.

If Def is not making the RSSBs, you can purchase them from SPL parts. They pretty pricey. The shock mount bushing is particularly expensive. I've stated this in other threads, but speaking with Kuah he told me to get the shock mount bushing at least "it's the important one". Nismo also sells hardened rubber bushings for the z32 uprights, and SPL can get those as well.

There is a thin rubber seal near the large center bore where the hub bolts to, that you'll have to order from Nissan. I've never seen anyone actually change that piece. I'm not even sure if it can be changed and if so how.

HIH.

Appreciate all the replies. Ordered all new bushings and axle seals from the local dealer. Maybe opt for the beefier SPL shock mount bushing but otherwise I want stock bits.

Def,
I think I saw in another thread you were asking $175 for the RSSB?

Trying to think of options here.. might just have the parts machined myself since I have a lot of crap going back and forth to other shops right now for work..

The pricing was $300 for the 6 control arm RSSBs. You'd have to really have the hookup at a machine shop to get all the pieces machined + bearings for $175.

Sorry.. I meant the strut mount bushing only. The rest of mine I'm going to leave alone.
