Dr30 Front Suspension

[R34]

I've just been going through the suspension on my DR30.

Been changing bushes to Nolathane and fitting Koni Shocks.

Noticed that the lower ball joints were knackered and they seem to be a push in fit.

Suspension place is trying to find out if the joints come complete with lower arm (which they suspect is the case)

Can anyone suggest if this is the case or if there is a better option to replace the balljoints.

Go check out a parts supplier. You can get a Taiwanese copy of the lower control arm for about $70.00 and it's complete with lower balljoint & inner bush.

Cheers, D

"Don't know if I'd want to compete on Taiwanese copies"

I have 2 sets of these. They measure exactly with the genuine article, thickness of material and all.

The genuine articles; Nissan part RH 54499-01L00 & LH 54500-01L00 are still available at about $450.00ea, but possibly ex Japan.

You don't like Taiwanese items, try the brand new items from Rare Spares, all made in Taiwan and there is no after market replacement for the lower ball joint.

Your call, but you did ask for our advise.

Maybe next time we should just tell you to F@#k OFF! You be happier then????????

Geez Dennis mate what's up your nose?

You still tired from shuttling Fire Fighters?

My appologies for expressing a reservation if it upset you so much.

There was nothing directed towards yourself so chill.

I've already taken your advice and ordered a set of copies yesterday.

Genuine Nissan was $250 a side

Thanks for the help...You happier now?

When you get your copies, grab a pair of verniers and you will find EVERYTHING is identical to what Nissan want a bomb for.
