Leaking Tension Rod Bush's

[nizmo_freek]

Hey guys

Just noticed that my left hand side tension rod is leaking out lots of clear grease from the bush, is this just normal wear and tear or have i done something to damage it?

And should i just replace it with a stock bush (knowing nissan they will probaly charge me an arm and a leg) or upgraded them? i can get brand new nismo tension rods for $441 nzd from RHDjapan, or Some adjustable IKEYA rods for a bit more money, should i be looking at something like this or just replacing it with stock bushes? if i do upgrade them what are the benefits?

Cheers

Thats normal for the stock bushes to leak over time, your better of just replacing the stock bushes to aftermarket ones look at SK's suspension group buy and you can get them from there because its been discussed here that bush type castor rods are better then spherical bearing ones if your car is going to be used mainly for street, not to mention there a lot cheaper too.

you can get noltec replacement or replacement adjustable bushes for about $200 fitted

Has anyone here used the adjustable Ikeya Formula tension rods from nengun, i can get these with a bush instead of a bearing which will be better for street use for around $310 nzd
