Alloy rear cradle spacers

[Maxx]

able to source some Rear Alloy Bush, for R32, 33, 34. Both Gts/GTR

Made in Japan

eliminate any movement in the stock bushes.

For those who dont know, the rear cradle houses the rear suspension linkages and the diff. Nissan mounts the cradle with large rubber bushes, which can flex and move under heavy load.

By removing any movement in the cradle, it will make the rear end more predictable and improve handling.

Installation is relatively straightforward : guide

JMS sell them at $250 :Oops:

$160 per set :love:

Do these come with instructions or something? Where are they being sent from (so I can get an idea on postage).

Advantages / disadvantges of alloy bushes over urethane bushes???

[Maxx]

it's more direct than urethane bushes,

the different will be normal bush->pineapple-> alloy bushes.

should be bit downside of drive quality than pineapple but even better handling

Can you use them with the pinnapples aswell?

[Maxx]

they are "metal" pineapple, 1 set is fine

[Steve]

Hope you dont mind if I put in 2 c worth here Max.

For use with pineapples, you only need, or use 4.

I have this and it works quite well - as pineapples change geometry of rear cradle, but the hardmounts are used to remove the rubber parts that allow the cradle to move.

Ride harshness increase isnt really very noticeable, but the car does feel tighter when throwing it around, and traction is a bit better too.

Steve: Thats what I thought. I already have the pinnapples and just want to stop any flex in the rubber mounts of the sub frame.

Well in that case I'll be in for a set of alloy cradles Maxx.

hey guys i have knocking in the rear of my 33 that even the local suspension experts cant figure out. (sounds like strut top nuts are loose) Would pineapples or the metal sleeves maybe be my answer???? By the way i have a Nismo diff which is almost a locker??

[Maxx]

maybe a set of these can help want a set to try?

[DRAGTS]

thanks maxx will let you know by friday as car is going back in to give them one more try...

Are they easy to fit yourself ???

[PS13t]

This site should give you an idea on how to install them.

I did things a little differently, as I cut the rubber OEM bushes back level with the cradle when fitting,

[PHaT MR30]

so now i am confused after reading a few of the posts,

originally i thought u remove the original bush and replace it with these alloy ones, or pineapples for that matter.

but a few posts have confused me can u confirm?

oh and these will fit an S13 right?

[Maxx]

will fit S13, 14, 15 even A31

[(B1) MR_fanny]

ok so as i understand it u use these in conjunction with urethane bushes/pineapples rite as it fills the gap even more for extra stiffness rite?? im not too sure of the idea that you completely replace your bushes with jus the aluminium ones.

can someone confirm??

[SLY33]

i have these fitted, no noticeable decrease in ride quality, good traction too. Not sure about the specifics of what bushes are retained/used with etc...
