    Rear knuckle bush replacement.

    I can't seem to find any other replacement bushes other than the hardrace ones. Anyone got any different brands fitted? I've got a spare pair of knuckles i'm having powdercoated next week so want new bushes to put in

    I'v got some new Nismo rubber bushes I would sell if you give me a semi decent offer for them. Had them for ages but never fitted them, let me dig them out.

    I got a set of SPL spherical bushes in a pair of s15 spec r rear knuckles from a time attack car in japan
    same as these http://www.frsport.com/SPL-SPL-RKB-S...-_p_59658.html
    I sort of needed them for a zero bind and lots of rear squat set up for drags,and can still switch to a race coil over for tracks
    not cheap but the only way to get what I need, I am going to press the SPL's into a pair of Aluminum 300zx rear knuckles
    another worth while swap,just the lower shock mount needs a bracket/or swap coilover lower for a 300zx forked type

    polys seem to bind more than the stock bushes so went off that idea,they will be ok for fast road/track stuff
    but if too much bind it will reduce amount of suspension travel so could affect rear grip and how well the car drives/handles
    more so if car has softer springs/soft shock damping and has a fair bit of suspension travel or movement,
    if on a harder spring/damping less movement/travel set up then may be ok and not affect much as its not moving much currently
    just my 2p

    Where did you buy them from mate? Nowhere i look advertises them as knuckle bushes, so do i have to look for a different name?

    I bought mine as a full poly bush kit, think I bought the kit off eBay for about £110, so worth it though, they are such good quality and will probably never need replacing again

    Used nismo ones in mine and they are really good. Also used the hardrace ones and again they are very good. For a road car I would only use rubber bushes as the poly ones can cause binding and give a harsh ride.

    Think I've got a spare set of Powerflex ones on the garage.

    EDIT: Yup, 6 x PFR46-204 which should do both rear knuckles.

    Also in Oxfordshire
