Looking for some help on finding a part number, I don't have a Pathfinder or QX4 but a Nissan Elgrand which is a E50 and shares most of the suspension and frame parts as well as brakes as the R50 Pathfinder.

Found it on this forum but I need the part number to order it because the overseas one does not match anything in the states.

What component is this bushing for? It's difficult to tell from the pictures.

The ones in your pics are the Rear front lower control arm bushings. I recently did mine about 2 weeks ago... Get these poly bushings from 4x4parts as they are much better then stock.

Rear front lower control arm bushings:

If your replacing those, also replace the front lower control arm bushings:

and my thread, will help you in seeing pictures, etc.

ya thats the front lower control arm. Rear bushing

4x4parts.com sells an aftermarket polyurethane bushing for that spot which is virtually indistructible, and like $50 for a pair of them for both sides

I don't think Nissan sells individual bushings for R50s. You need to purchase the entire arm. There are aftermarket polyurethane bushing kits available, see here. I don't know whether they'd fit your E50.

EDIT: Wow, three basically identical posts at the same time, haha.

Beat you all to it :). They will fit his E50, i remember sicwitit saying they had vans in japan that use the same suspension as the pathfinders. His bushing mount, and the bushing itself look exactly like my old ones.

Sweet, thanks for the quick replies now I can get these ordered up. It's a common problem for the Elgrand, they get the sqeaks in the rear suspension pretty bad when this wears out due to the weight of the van.

Our rear suspension looks totally different but shares almost all the same bushings. We actually have just one of those bushings since our set up is different it's on the traction bar. We have all the R50's front running gear and the same trans, rear end and 4x4 set up. This part is going on the rear of my vehicle on the traction bar.

For those who don't know what a Elgrand is this is mine, It's actually in the Philippines not Japan so that's why the part is a pain to find at the dealership.

Turbo diesel makes them fun when you mod them :)
