Replacing Bushings ? Bushing Kits ? Reviews ?

[geetea-are]

hello, I recently bought an r32 gt-r and was wondering what people do about the bushings, there 20 years old!, my car has coil overs and castors rods in it at this point in time, i will be shortly buying all the adjustable arms possible, eg. traction, toe and camber arms, new anti roll bars with over steer bias rather then under, So the question i was wondering is what do people do about their bushings, what sort of kits are available what bushings are usually worn the most and need replacing, where am i gouing to feel the most improvment. the car is currently road registered but in a year or so I plan to turn it into a time attack car.

cheers for any input

If you are replacing most or all you're suspension arms then the new ones have new bushes that will last a while. Nolathane also sell "enhancement kits" which are basically all the nolathane bushes you need, they come in front or rear, some bushes need to be pressed in and out. Usually rear subframe bushes are shot, they are a pain to replace so most people get the metal subframe collar kit which stiffens it right up and they are cheap and super easy to install. I actually happen to have a nolathane rear bush kit for sale, if you wanna save yourself some $$$ PM me

If you are doing any track work then you really need to consider replacing all of the bushes. That's quite a task, both in labour and cost terms. For a good place to start, that would be replacing the upper control arms bushes in the both the front and the rear as well as the front radius rods and the rear traction arms. I would always suggest adjustable bushes as they will give you skope to set the optimum static camber and caster and eliminate some of the dreaded rear bump steer..
