Hi Guys,

I'm looking to replace my front and rear suspension bushings - and after some research it doesn't look like you can buy some of the OEM rubber bushings for upper/lower control arms specifically. I know most people go with Energy Suspension, but I'm not really looking for additional harshness in ride. I also heard they squeak a lot if you don't re-grease them (I don't really want to disassemble the suspension every year to re-grease). Whiteline also makes bushings which are apparently are softer than ES bushings - has anyone had any good/bad experiences with the whiteline bushings?

Thanks!

Not true, most are good for the z32. The exception are the front upper control arms bushing, the arms do not fit once the bushings are installed. Tried on two different cars and same results.

Thanks, looks like I can buy Nismo control arm bushings from nengun. It looks like I can buy a lot of the other bushings as well, assuming the r32 and 300zx are relativley the same (which it looks to be).

R32 and Z32 are almost identical in suspension. Slight differences, but most of the bushings should still be the same.
