Brilliant, probalby be next week when I place the order as I have a friend coming over at the weekend to see if he thinks he will be able to do the work, but will definately order them from you. If I can't get my friend to do it, I'll have to get a garage that will let me supply the bush and they do the work. No I don't need to replace the whole handle just the silver plate as its badly scratched (blamed my wife and her jewellery), but the car is perfect except for this, and its one of those things that irritate's me everytime I see it!. Thanks Jake

Hi, I have spoken to the garage who have informed me its not the suspension arm, but the bush which needs replacing, however they have said as you suggested that they can only supply the bush with the arm. The part numbers they gave me are: 54469 LH 54468 NRH Could you let me know a price please. They said its the arm with the ball joint one end and the bush the other, if that info helps any further. Just another quick question I am also looking for the silver plate on the inside door handle, not the handle that opens the door but the rest, probably haven't explained myself well there, not sure its called the door grap??. Thanks Jake

Thanks for the info, I'll find out the parts I need and get back to you. Jake

I bought the car from New, its taken a couple of trips to the South of France, but is only used at weekends, hence low mileage . The only information I have is from the MOT refusal which states the following:- Nearside front lower (rear arm) suspension arm rubber bush bonding deteriorated resulting in excessive movement Offside front lower (rear arm) suspension arm rubber bush bonding deteriorated resulting in excessive movement I have called the local Nissan dealer Evans Halshaw and they said to take it in to have a look?.

Thanks for the replies, I live in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Hi, I wonder if someone could help me, Im unsure if I am being robbed blind by the garage I use, or I have a serious problem with the car. I have a 2004 350Z, and believe it or not it only has 16k miles on the clock. Last MOT I had a suspension arm and bush changed, and this MOT where I have done around 500 miles the garage tells me I need a Nearside front lower (rear arm), and a Offside front lower (rear arm). I have contact Nissan to see if this is an ongoing problem with this model 04 and they state they have no problem with this year car and parts. My worry is am I being conned at the garage (I would hope not), or is this the result of a more serious problem with the car resulting in this??. At this rate I will have to have suspension arms every MOT at a costly sum of £340 each!!!!. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas/views. Thanks Jake
