motavated Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks! Parts America seems alot like Kragen... But the only one they have are the 78/79 ones.... Do they fit my 74? When I try too look them up in 74 they dont show up.... Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I don't know what the differences are. I looked up '79 because that's what's saved in their website for my vehicles. partsamerica.com is the online branch of CSK Auto (Checker, Schucks, Kragen) The brick and mortar stores honor the online prices if you take in a printout of the price when you pick up the parts.

slodat Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 There are two bushings on each side. When I bought them last, they were sold individually. They may also be sold as a set of four depending upon the vendor. Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 anyone think of getting rid of these and replacing them with heim joints? just an idea :eek: Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have seen some for classic mustangs. But I bet they might be pretty exspensive.... Quote Link to comment

BEEBANI Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I just used the sway bar end link bushings on mine, almost a perfect fit. Had to trim one side to get them to fit perfect. I bought them at napa. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 These bushings are easy to find... Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yeah, well they weren't when I was looking for them 2 years ago. I just saw a whole set on ebay for $30 today. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I wouldn't ever base anything on ebay prices. I have bought many items advertised as NLA on ebay new from Nissan. Even recently. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was going to buy and modify the ones Bee stated, but I'm going poly's cus they last longer and are a perfect fit... Only 40 bux's if I remember.... Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I highly recommend against Poly T/C rod bushings. There is an excellent Dime Quarterly article about the poly ones breaking. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Rubber... softer, gives a bit more, wears out with age mostly. Polly...... Hard, little give, will wear out from friction more than rubber. In some cases the hard rubber is enough to return the 'like new' ride and firm things up. Replacing with poly will definitely firm up the ride and handling, but the poly does not 'give' and in some uses will wear quite fast. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Not trying to be rude. But the superpro's poly bushings I think offers diffrent types of stifness/firmness on there bushings. Right now my rig has no strut bushings! :lol: I will see which one will be cheaper. But for an extra 10 bux's I think you can get them poly and you get the choose the type of firmness the bushings are made which is not that bad. But all bushings wear out no mater what.... No? I got to talk to the Tein supplier her in Lakewood Ca to verify again. If these Superpros are way to expensive, then I'll go to Rockauto and use the extra rebate Ratsun got... :cool: Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Make sure you measure everything before you take the rods out, those rods have a great deal to do with the alignment of your truck. I found this out last weekend when I took my truck to get aligned. That's how they adjust the caster and stop bump steer. I had to make new rods that were more adjustable. Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 see! mmmmmmmm... heim joints :D Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 This truck needs suspension help big time. I cant believe I was going a hundred on that horrible suspension. All the rubbers are gone. But I did replaced all the tie rods, idler and pitman arm and I aligned it all by myself. Man..... No wonder my cars dont last long. :lol: I have all the rubber already except the tie rods bushings and the rear leaf spring bushings. I heard you can use poly leaf spring bushings from a Jeep? Any who I got paid yesterday... So more stuff is a coming!!!! Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Bought the stock ones from the dealer. Less than 30 buxs for all 8 I think. Had them in stock in Gardena Nissan. Quote Link to comment
