jonst205 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 If anyone has a pair of old compression arms that you want a few quid for, can you let me know? Doesn't matter if the chassis bush is knackered as they will be replaced with poly's. Ball joints need to be serviceable though please as I don't think these are replaceable.

jonst205 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Cheers, it's just a case of a having a spare set to swap the arms myself, as I don't have a press in my workshop. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbyegti Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi Jon, I have a pair of compression arms as i recently changed mine. The O/S ball joint is absolutely fine, the N/S is worn. They had 75,000 miles on them. The bushings are worn on both arms. I appreciate you probably want a pair with good joints, however. PM if interested and I can send you a picture.

jonst205 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks for the reply chap, as you suspected I really wanted a pair with OK ball joints, but I'll keep you in mind. Out of interest did you fit OEM or aftermarket replacements? It's a route I'm considering. Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbyegti Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got OEM replacements from a Nissan dealer on US ebay. It worked out under £400 with shipping, import duty, nuts and cones and i also got a replacement interior vent included with that. We get ripped off over here. I posted about it on the site but my post got censored by someone. PM for details if you want. I couldn't be bothered with the risk of replacing the bushings, only to find the joint was finished as well. Turns out one side was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewan221 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Why would the post be censored ? Strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbyegti Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I posted some pictures of the installed parts and the name of the dealer I got the parts from. Perhaps that was considered advertising, but whatever the case the sentence regarding the supplier disappeared with no notice; not exactly in the interest of members.

jonst205 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah a bit suspicious that...though not too hard to find on ebay US. May go that route or see what the cheapy ebay UK ones are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
