Front Lower Suspension Arm Bushes Debonding ???

[Grumpy Griff]

Hi All - Hope someone can help with a bit of advice....

 

Just took my 06 350z to local Nissan dealer (quite happy with them - they serviced my previous 200sx for 4 or 5 years with decent prices and service) for a P1 service + plugs + AirCon service.

 

So having spent just over £500 for this, they then advised me of the following :-

- front lower suspension arm bushes debonding - parts ~ £700

- offside rear anti roll bar link - part ~ £28

 

Altogether with labour ~ £1000 which ended up with a big GULP from me.

 

Apparently the bushes need doing within next couple of months......

 

Any advice on either second opinion, whether cost is reasonable, what happens if I don't do it , etc. etc.

 

Any advice helpfully received.

 

Thanks

 

Grumpy

Bushes are attached to lower arm and you can't buy just the bush from Nissan,you have to buy the whole arm.

 

has just the bushes available and also arms.

We have a good fix for this problem, we use a replacemnt bush kit that removes the rubber from the bush so your never have the same problem again;

 

Have a look at this thread;
