Rear suspension arms bushings

[jalexquijano]

i only see this kit available:

https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspension-7-3104G-Control-Bushing/dp/B000CGUJOE/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1533832428&sr=1-1&keywords=Energy+Suspension+7.3104G

I dont think i need all of these bushings as i only need to replace the ones that were wrongly installed.

The ones i need are the ones pointed in the following site:

https://www.totalzparts.com/product/datsun-240z-260z-280z-rear-suspension-inner-control-arm-bushings-1970-78-nos/

Quite expensive indeed. Please confirm.

That's the wrong part.  You need #57.  Two for each side, about $12 each.  Less than $50 total.

Your picture does not match your part number.  I agree though that you only need the parts I suggested.

Thats correct. Sorry. I just want to try a different option other than purchasin the energy suspension kit.

I found the correct part. I guess i will need to go with the energy suspension poly bushing kit as these original nissan bushings are hard to get. Any thoughts?

They shouldn't be hard to get. I bought 4 of them directly from Nissan 6 months or so ago

Any difference in the car's ride or comfort using these bushings instead of energy suspension poly?

My car is not on the ground but I suspect the ride will be the same or maybe slightly less jarring. I used no poly bushings on my build

Z car source says i need 4 of these bushings. I guess they must be wrong as they dont look like the original bushings i previously posted.

there are two types of the top, one is longer than the other you need a short and long for each side of the car on the rear suspension. not clear but it looks like # 64 in the illustration. I think the short one goes on the rear side of the inner control arm but you have it cut off so can't see the # for the front side. Just make sure you get two shorts and two longs.

the lower pic is a #57 you need 4 in total all the same these go on the outer side of the control arm, two for each side of the car.

the #57 can be very hard to remove, I would not bother unless they are shot. the inside ones are a bit easier as long as there is not a lot of rust on #61 bolt.

I guees he is confused i need 2 of 57 for each side.
