DAT{521}SUN Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've searched and contacted different online parts stores for replacing those torn up bushings and I had no luck. Most stores said that part is discontinued. I know someone on here has had better luck on finding alternative bushings. (I forgot what thread it was on. My luck!) Anyway, I would like to see if anyone can guide me to find something very useful. I also need those grease caps. One of them is broken. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 We need a 521 owner to make a huge parts run South of the border. I had a co-worker just come back from there telling me how many of these trucks he saw on his trip. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 A guy in Mexico sells them on Ebay. These can also be sourced through Taiwan. I have purchased parts from all over the world and have not had problems. The shipping takes time. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spindle-Lower-Arm-Bush-Assy-RH-LH-Pair-for-Datsun-520-521-620-1965-1977-/371569513387?hash=item568344d3ab:g:PKIAAMXQ855RwMAt&vxp=mtr Just use o-rings for dust shields. 2 Quote Link to comment

If you mean those rubber things with the small coil spring wrapped around them....those I would call seals but Nissan calls them a lower fulcrum pin ring. The part number is #54503-20500 less than a dollar? The screw in part with the grease fitting is the bushing, the part it fits over is the lower link fulcrum pin and it is secured by a cotter pin to the spindle knuckle. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 You can source seal that I believe is MGB. I have the part number somewhere. The early 320 and 520 had a felt like material and the 521 came with a seal that usually got pinched torquing the fulcrum pin. This is why I said use an o-ring. 1 Quote Link to comment
DAT{521}SUN Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for the responses! It cleared up a lot on my end. As am waiting for a response from nissanparts.cc to see if they have that part in stock, I'd like to know if anyone has dealt with any of the following parts stores: ziparts.co.nz kyotoparts.com If so, how was your over all experience, quality of items, and shipping times? I do realize they're overseas but, if I can get the parts I needf, patience is a virtue......especially with a Datsun. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Mexico a couple weeks decent parts. Taiwan 30 days depends on manufacturer, if you buy Japanese after market the quality is good. I f did the email for Nissan parts do not wait long they never have replied to any request I made. Nissan NLA No Longer Available. Quote Link to comment
