Or I can opt for the whiteline ones from pdm for 50. Im really just looking for a stock replacement, will the one's from courtesy work fine?

I just called the dealership also just to check prices, and he told me that its a non replaceable bushing, and you had to have order a new tc rod with the bushing already pressed in for 100 bucks each (hah). I proceeded to tell him about replacement bushings and he told me its not possible, because he used to own a 240, so I just said "ok thanks" and hung up.

But anyways is the whiteline worth the extra 15 bucks?

probly not much of a difference. whiteline might be a bit more stiffer. as far as the guy at nissan, he was right. the oem bushings on the T/C rods are pretty much melted into the T/C rods. nissan could have made a replacement bushing like the aftermarket ones but doesnt really make sense when they already have more T/C rods with the bushings already in them

those arent courtesy bushings. they are energy suspension. they are fine

So am I going to have a problem getting the old bushings out of the TC rod's? I have access to vice's, drill pressed, the whole works, will I be able to press the new bushing in myself or will I have to take it to a shop?

they are a little troublesome to get out but if you have a press you can get them out. the harder part is getting the newer ones in

What bushings to get?

I say none of the above.

Eliminate the bushings and go with spherical bearings; I have project silvia tension rods, only $145 shipped a pair-combined with the nismo power brace, s/t sway bar, stb, tokico's and eibachs, my front end feels TIGHT and stiff--steering is also a LOT more responsive than stock.

Im tryn to save 15 bucks on bushings that I really need but not sure if I need to spend the 15 extra bucks.
