Front Upright Top Bushes / Bearings For R33 Gts-t?

[Chris Wilson]

Can you buy whatever bushes or bearings are within the top eye of the front "swan neck" suspension uprights on an R33 GTS-t? Mine have play in them. The pert I need the bushes for is circled in the parts illustration below. Thanks.

Whiteline KCA348. These will also let you adjust your camber.

You may need a press to get the old bushes out - I haven't looked at the fronts but the rear contol arms certainly do.

in reply to this? as i need this done also, has anyone had this done? what was the labour hrs like?

I have gone with Nismo bushes, but my old press is leaking again and I really need something bigger, so I have bought a 50 tonne unit off Ebay I hope to pick up tomorrow. I will photo the job if you want. I am slightly spoilt in having a lathe and Bridgeport mill that allows me to make mandrels fairly easily, but looking at the bushes I would think a big vice would press them in OK.
