NISMO polyurethane ones work on standard G50 tension rods.

I believe so. Ask Joe when he is finished moving the parts department on 1/4/2010.

i used my entire s13 240sx tension rod, it had a energy bushing. the offset is different. it will press in, but the hole is centered on the urethane part. the factory stock rubber with liquid fill, is offset. but it works perfect. i believe the 300zx bush is the same.

Before anyone says anything, i do recommend doing alignment after, as the toe will change slightly and the caster will be off a little. all the front end was still well within stock specs when i got the alignment sheet printed after my alignment.

mine was offset. the arrow points in the direction of installation so you can place it correctly when pressing the bushing in, for stock. but most aftermarket ones are centered. eh... mine works fine. hehe.

..wait, are you talking about the poly bushing? i'm confused?

Nismo polyurethane bushing instead of stock silicon filled rubber one.

oh. so the nismo one is offset? thats cool. i would have gotten that one, it is more ideal than the aftermarket one, but the aftermarket one works and the alignment should be within specs still if you have it and want to use it.

Joe knows as he sold me mine.

I doubt I can find the bill as it was at least 6 years ago.

Why did you buy the 300zx polys before confirming they would fit?????? Not sure it is all worth the effort vs just getting the correct oem Q part,as my originals lasted 135,000 miles and the 2nd set lasted 100,000 miles.

I bought the master set to get the subframe and differentials bushing and what ever else fit...it was better than buying them separate

Thanks for the update.

Are these the Energy polyurethane bushings of which you are speaking?
