    anyone know if energy suspension or other prothane parts (say s130?) for example have them?

    He didn't specify a price limit… He just wanted to know if anybody made a kit that included the sleeves, so there ya go.

    This is what I did, and pushed out the centers, pretty easy.

    i had to buy OEM ones from someone who had them locally (it was a holiday weekend).

    Nissan wants like 50 a piece for the bushings or something

    50? No way, go to courtesyparts.com.

    I think I paid 70 with super duper fast shipping.

    Welcome to nissan canada…

    Anyway, this could be a simple project for someone to make a bunch of sets, perhaps heavy zinc plated, perhaps even eccentric kits like k-mac?

    Would you guys be interested in a run of something like that?

    Z31-Turbo from quebec had a set done.

    I will say that they are super-duper hardened steel, and it took me 10 fire and rescue saw-zall blades to cut through them to get at them for my bushing install. sooooo, unless you find hardened tube that can be used in it's place… I doubt using anything else would suffice.

  • #43
    I had mine made of hardened stainless remember… on the plus side, by the time they seize, I'll just upgrade to a subframe swap

    Zach, any updates on ASCO making/getting some? These are the only ones I didn't replace on the rear due to those dang sleeves!
