Upper Control Arms

[LotusGTR]

Guys, my car is in the shop for other things, but the mechanic said these were pretty shagged and could do with replacing. He has an adjustable set there which are unbranded, but have Japanese NSK bearings in them.

I've never clapped eyes on these things before and really don't know how important it is to get a good set, branded / non branded, or it is one of those items that doesn't really matter. They look like they are decent quality (looks like a mixture of chrome and anodised bits on there.

Any advice here?

We recommend the TuneAgent front upper control arms for camber adjustment. I have had them on our 300ZX race car now for over 2 years.

Guys in melb have had good experience with the Nismo and Cusco items.

Thanks Gary, you're already been recommended to me. I've not done anything yet. Thanks for the link.

If I just want to address the play in the stock arms, rather than introduce camber adjustment, can that be done with replacing bushes etc? Is there a kit to go for?

The non adjustable bushes are pretty much the same price as the adjustable ones, plus I have never ever seen an R32GTR that doesn't need camber adjustment. Cost on the Group Buy is $183 plus freight.

Since its an R32 i would never personally bother with adjustable bushes in the front. I have chewed out too many sets and couldnt be stuffed with them as it seems the geometry of the R32 is to blame. R33s etc all seem ok. But R32s well i happily run Noltec upper control arms on the front of my car. Good range of adjustment and have been fine in the front of my car for over 2 years now. I have only done about 15,000kms in those 2 years, but they have seen more use and kms then my last set of bushes that failed.

Troy. Not sure if I follow. You say you would not run adjustables, but then say you do? Sorry, might be missing something here.....?

Dont the noltec arms still run bushes?
