Tension rod sizes???

[Gerardjg]

I just purchased 2 Original Nissan bushings to put into my newly acquired 1997 J30 part # Nissan 54476-35F20

After pressing out the 2 old ones I find that the new ones are to small.The ones that came out are 70mm OD the new ones and the ones in my 1995J30 are 64mm OD. per every were I look they should both be the smaller ones.

Did the 1997 have a different size rod or does this car have the wrong rods installed?

If these rods are from another vehicle can someone look up the part number of the 70MM od bushing so I can order these.

Thanks

all 94-97 J should use the same tension rod bushing, after some searching i still couldn't find out if the J use the same bushing as the (87-96) 300zx, (89-98) 240sx, which use the same bushing. If that 70MM bushing is from another car, i would guess that are for the Q45, BUT the Q use two different kind of bushings, too. one for the active suspension and one for the non-active suspension. Good luck.here is a couple good link.

Thanks Nismo

I ended up calling spicer to get the dimensions of the Q45 bushingsthe Active is 69.5 MM and non active is 59.2 so I will order the 69.5 ones.FYI this was the 3rd time I ordered spicer parts for one of my Js and each time they came in sealed Nissan OEM bags.
