rear suspension

[jcb]

Please advise me where to find rubber bushings and spindle pins for the rear of a 78/280z. I have read that poly bushings will cause a harsh ride and am wanting to go back original. Any advice is appreciated JB

Don't overlook your local Nissan dealer. I am switching back to rubber bushings away from poly, I don't like the ride quality. Courtesy Nissan Parts website came up with all the bushings for the rear LCA's. The inner bushings are 55554-E4100 at $13.78 and 55555-E4100 at $11.49. Outer bushings are 55541-E4100 at $9.57. As MSA points out, they are all the same for 240-260-280Z's. Hope this helps.

I think the key is to leave at least one rubber interface in any of the four suspension points. That is, don't use 100% poly in your suspension.
