Need Help - Front Suspension On R32

[gibsonator]

Hi guys, I just need a little advice on which approach to take with my front suspension. Its an R32 gts-t.

I had a mechanic look at it the otherday and said the front upper arms had a lot of play in it, and it needs to be replaced.

Anyway, what do you guys advise to fix the play in the front end?

Is it worth getting aftermarket, front upper arms? If so, what brand?

Can you put GTR upper arms on a GTS-T?

Thanks for your help guys

R32GTST and R32GTR arms are the same

The arms themselves don't usually wear, it's the ruber bushes in the arms that wear out over time.

My suggestion would be to replace the standard rubber bushes with adjustable polyurethane bushes.

The parts cost would be ~$270 on the Group Buy

What SK is proposing is probably the cheapest and best option but there are MANY other options out there if you are so inclined ! I'm using non-adjustable Cusco upper like which have bearings instead of bushes.

Or.....

Im looking at doing a GB for Noltec bushes for the front and rear of skylines this week coming. I'll have prices etc this week.

It'll be around $155 for a front camber kit (8 bushes + offset crush tubes for a 20% discount, or if i can get 5 buyers around $130

They are a blue colour bush too.

Or i can get a whole replacement upper arm which is also camber adjustable, but more expensive. Its about $570 for the front upper pair, or $450 if i get 5 buyers or more

FAT32 knows i can get some cheap stuff...
