jaytt Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Hi Just failed an mot for a front offisde suspension arm. He said although arm looked ok - it has slipped down from its bushing and is nearly resting on the chassis. I think this is when I hit one of sheffield's large potholes - car went with a right bang!! He said you probably cant get these bushed, so may need a replacement arm with bushes in? Do you know if I can buy replacement bushes? take it off and fit them? or get a garage to? I can try and get a photo if it explains anything better. Other than that, everything else on the mot passed with flying colours Quote
ZMANALEX Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Genuine new Nissan bushings are in stock as well as new arms. Good to go same/next day with detailed fitting instructions. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote
jaytt Posted August 11, 2017 Author Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks for the reply - I have attached 2 photos - 1 showing the good side and the other (yellow chalk) showing the collapsed one. If I take the arm off, can this definately be rebushed? or does it need a replacement arm? Is this arm actually called the suspension arm? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 It is called the compression rod (banana arm) and the bushing can be replaced. I have received and replied to your PM. Genuine Nissan bushings are In stock and good to go same next day. Alex. Quote
