Cheers fella's

What are people using ?? Iv'e allways used nissan's, am i getting ripped off?? Is it just normal eg: Nulon etc. with a nissan sticker?? $65 for 5 litres each change, and i do it yearly..

Hi, Well seeing ive just done mine and it all went well id'e post up how i did it. Firstly i parked on a reasonably level driveway,Chocked rear wheels and in gear with handbrake on. I got under and set up jack stands roughly to the height it was sitting at, One under the diff housing,between radius arm and swivel housing, ( Oh one side at a time) Then another stand under the chassis behind where back off radius arm meets chassis. Jacked the whole front up, took off wheel and placed stands and lowered onto them. Next i undone the rear nut of the radius arm where it meets the chassis. removed the rear mushroom bush. Then with rattle gun loosened the bolts holding radius arm to diff. ( these are Tight,Had to grind one off) Next you have to remove Tie Rod joint on the side your working on and swing out of the way. Punch out bolts with brass punch while supporting radius arm, slide out towards the front of the car. Pressed out old bushes and replaced with new rubber ones. To install , put new mushroom bush on the back off arm and slide in, put rear mushroom bush on, washer and tighten,you have to tighten the rear nut to squash the new bushes so the front bushes line up, Put new bolts and nuts through front bushes ( $30 set from nissan ) had to jack up a little to line them up, Done them up (not tight) Put wheel back on removed stands and jumped up and down on the front end. Undone all the nuts enough to put locktite on thread and torqued them all up with car sitting on wheels (important) if you torque them up while jacked up you will tear the bushes when the cars sitting where it should. This apply's to any suspension bush!!! Hope this helps, found it an easy job.

Sweet, Ill'e put stands under chassis and diff,wheels off, as you say as long as the diff dont twist, so one at a time will be the go. Cheers.

Cheers , will deffinatly put anti-seize on the threads off tie-rods, and lock-tight on radius arm bolts/nuts. Just wondering the best way to remove radius arms, One at a time, put diff on stands, wheels off??, Chassis on stands aswell??? Spose the main thing is that the diff dont move when there out??

cheers dav, have got rubber ones to replace old.

Howdy, been told my radius arm bushes and tie rod ends are past use by, handy with a spanner, Any tricks or things to look out for when replacing, Got a press and have re-newed control arms, Panhard rod bushes etc.Radius arms look abit more PITA. Cheers.

Great Logo!!!!. Let the good times roll!!!! :D

Hey this thread is in the wrong section!!! LOL's

Yeh!! well done David, great idea.

Good work!!! What about copy and pasting Sticky's / tech stuff over, Would that be a drama???? Say having one thread with all the sticky's, and put some off the mods and stuff done on it aswell????
