Noticed today while doing the upper control arms that my ball joints are totally shot.

Anybody know where to get a decently priced set of lowers? Only thing I can find is about a $300 a piece.

The 300$ is with the entire control arm correct? So anyway, the LCAs from the Z32 to G50 are not the same. The BJs are though.The LCA bushings are as well. Buy the Spicer BJs online around $35per , the Bj seats from IoS I think $10per? + replace LCa bushings w/ the nismo ones- about... $15.per side. Aprox 120$ per side? not a very complicated ordeal!

Just have to locate!-

I have a set of control arms. The ball joints are good and they have polyurethane bushings.

Are polyurethane bushings the only ones available? Does anyone have any experience with them.

You can use OE style or poly style z32 bushings, for the G50.

I thought you had to buy the whole lower control arm as the bushing is not available separately. According to the parts program they use.

Are the Ball joint shims the same as the 300zx? I assume they are if the BJs are the same
