  1. Just out of interest, what are the signs of failed bushes on the compression rods ? Without visual inspection, is there a noise

     

    Seams to vary. I have seen posts about clunking but mine did'nt. On the road in a straight line it started to wander left and right before settling on left.

     

    Best thing is a visual inspection, you need to jack up the front of the car and remove the lower brace to see them properly. Any signs of tears or cuts and they need replacing.

  2. Can the bushes be used again ? Why did you buy them in the first place ?

     

    I bought them to replace the failed bushes in my compression rods. I got them fitted at Horsham Developments and then changed my mind and went for the Superpro poly bushes instead, hence they have been pressed in and out but never actually used.

     

    Im not sure if they can be refitted hence the low price if someone wants to try.

  3. Was just thinking about some tyres to burn rubber with tbh.. Leave it with me, if you sell them, you sell them, if not, Il let ya know what I'm doing, cheers

     

    No problem, I'm open to sensible offers as well.

     

    Postage now £15.58 thanks to Bennett

  4. Finally fixed the fault by replacing the sensor.

     

    Cost just over £80 including P and P from Zmanalex which is around £10 cheaper than Nissan.

     

    I figured out as per the bulletin the sensor was cutting out ONLY when hot. For example I was driving the short distance to work everyday no problem but when I went for a longer drive it would always light up.

     

    Changing the sensor is easy, just push in the clip under the plug (I.e. towards the car) until it clicks off. I found it needed quite a hard push.

     

    Then undo the bolt and wiggle out the sensor.

     

    Replacement is the reverse.

  5. I had a very similar problem, changing the compression rod bushes and an alignment fixed it.

     

    I found the car would wander and then feeling like slumping to the left.

     

    To inspect the bushes jack up the front end of the car and unbolt the brace, if there are any tears they need to be replaced. I would recommend inspecting the ball joints as well. If the ball joints are fine you can can just replace the bushes otherwise you need to replace the arms.
