For those that are going to purchase the bushings above, note that SuperPro ones are two pice nolathane only, whereas the Noltec ones are one piece and have a steel outer sleev (in the case of N61666 and N61667) and the front LCA bushings as well.

For this reason, I prefer Noltec, but it can make them a bugger to install.


Have some pics at home and will try and host them tomorrow.

ditto that - but not hard to install if all you do is go "here mr mechanic, please install..."

Make sure it is Mr Competent Mechanic. When I took mine to get done, the put the inners in the outer and vice verca. Easily fixed though, but make sure you check it before you leave.

Also you must not tighten them with the car jacked up above ride height as they will only last a few thousand ks. Do them up loosley, give the car a few bounces and then do them up tightly while at the intended ride height.

CORRECT!!!!! If you ever go into a good suspension workshop, notice that they use several 4-post jacks to work on cars..... i asked a suspension mechanic once why he was working on a car on the ground without it being jacked when there was still a 2-poster not being used, so he explained exactly what you did :)

The other trick is to do them up loosely, then drive up some wheel ramps to actually get underneath the car if you dont have much space there.

Regarding the Rear Sway Bar Mount to chassis bush. Since noone seems to make them here in Australia, Tru-line suspension, just down the road from me were able to help me out in finding something that fits. The bush that we used was from Nolathane part number #42330. This bush is a little short by about 1mm, so you need to grind the edge of the bracket down to accomodate the bush. Apart from that she's a good tight fit. Pictures below to show the modified bracket and bushes.

Just a quick question

Control Arm Inner (FRONT) N51665 $34+ tax
Radius Arm (FRONT) N51665 $37+ tax


The two above part numbes are the same, yet discription and price differ?? Is this correct? Would seem overly complecated if it was so.

[Negative Boost]

Those bushes cost $21

[CrUZida]

Radius Arm (FRONT) N81664
Thats the proper number.
