looking into bushing kits since Im in suspentions class this semester and will have plenty of time to replace everything. http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/nis1.html what exactly is the "strut rod"? I looked at the fsm diagrms and It seems nissan calls them by something else? will this master kit have tension rod bushings?

T/C rods. Get heim joints. Screw polyurethane...get adjustable front tnesion rods so you can alter your caster (unless it puts you in a upper class)....

2005 SCCA SOLO rule book wrote:Suspention bushing may be replaced with bushing of any material(except metal)...In a replacement bushing the amount of metal relitive to the amount of non metalic material maynot be increased...This does not authorise the change in type of bushing...
again just trying to keep with rules....sorry just learning suspention parts, what does t/c stand for?

Traction Control. It is the arm that goes from the front lower control arm to a bracket on the lower front unibody.

look at the FAQ for a suspension diagram with bushings names. I didn't put that there for my health you know...

OK, then yeah polyurethane is your best bet..but it can bind over time and cause other problems..-Chet
