Front rattle found?

[imhereithink85]

Hi guys,

 

Been investigating an annoying rattle front the front area today. And i think i have found the source, it looks like the bannana arm bush on the left has perished. Just to double check i looked at the right arm and it looks in good condition. Would someone mind looking at the below pictures to confirm this?

 

Front left bannana arm bush

Front right bannana arm bush

 

Thanks for the help

A fairly common thing to fail now due to age and mileage on 350z's

best to do both sides. It will take you a couple of hours to do, you will need a bush press though.

Thanks for the replies guys,

 

Ill be ordering the bushes from tonight. Ill do both sides as the bushes come as a pair, and a good mate of mine just so happenly has a press should be a straight forward job looking at the service manual.

If its like most of the other cars ive done, its actually easier to just replace the whole arm rather than just replace the bushes. In which case you dont need a press.

Yeah its like £80 for the bushes or £500 for both arms I know the route ill be going down. Ill take plenty of pics and do a write up on it as im sure there is plenty more to be done out there

You can get them from the states for £14 each here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-NISSAN-350Z-COMPRESSION-ROD-BUSHING-/180707444726?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1300c7f6

 

 

A pair works out at £43 delivered, so quite a saving!

Jesus Christ. Last year I replaced these on my mk4 golf and they came in at 25quid each side for the whole wishbone!!! Thats a hell of a difference!
