Suspension Parts

[FooFighter]

The rear suspension on my Zed needs some TLC so I asked the garage to look at it when the car was in for a service recently. Apparently the problem is with the lower control arm on the passenger side and parts nos. N54468CD00C (ROD COMPL-COMPR) and N54469CD00C (ROD COMPL-TENSI) need replacing at a cost from Nissan of about £500. Having replaced banana arm bushes on two different Zeds now, I know that Nissan often aren't the cheapest for parts. Has anyone had these parts replaced and, if so, where is a good place to get them from please?

I am having similar issues, though my garage have said they have a machine that can punch in new bushes. I'm having Polly bushes put in

I'd try Clark Motorsport if I was you. Got some rocker covers & other OEM parts from them at significantly lower prices than Nissan Dealerships.

Thanks Gareth. We would be able to supply these parts cheaper but you may just need to replace bushes. Drop me a PM or give me a call tomorrow I will be able to help

Don't always believe the Garage,

Thanks for your help guys. I think I'll start by jacking the car up and having a look so I can then have a more informed chat with the garage to get them to be more precise about what the problem is and take it from there.
