Arne Posted November 8, 2005 Share #13 Posted November 8, 2005 I've gone for stock rubber back in the suspension arms but urethane for sway bars, steering coupler and rack mounts. I'm thinking that I'll have sharper steering but a great ride. Best of both worlds.Not a bad idea. I recall installing a fair number of the factory harder rubber rack mounts back when I used to do suspension and brake work for a living. Much nicer steering feel. Never understood why Nissan gave the US models such soft rack mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the front is all urethane. Steering response was greatly improved. What do you folks think about the coupler in rubber to cushion the shock?

kenz240z Posted November 8, 2005 Share #15 Posted November 8, 2005 I went ahead and replaced the steering coupler with the urethane part, since it was in the kit and I had everything apart at the time. With urethane rack mounts, urethane coupler & rebuilt front suspension, the steering on my Z is TIGHT. It definitely gives a feel of the road, quite a contrast to my cars that have a Pitman arm/idler arm/power steering setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
