GreenZZZ Posted November 8, 2011 Share #13 Posted November 8, 2011 Put your numbers in Mike and they come up under courtesy as stoppers at 10$ each - ouch! Didn't say upper or lower, but I assume they are the same and I will 4'of themUpper and lower are different. Upper has a larger hole as the mounting bolt tapers inside the mustache bushing.

madkaw Posted November 13, 2011 Share #16 Posted November 13, 2011 Looks a 1000 times better-great job. Now help get that tool Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35145-oem-bushings-for-moustache-bar/?page=2#findComment-371706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenZZZ Posted November 13, 2011 Share #17 Posted November 13, 2011 Kevin LeBlanc at the Austin Z-Clinic had this tool made up. We're kicking around the idea of making up a batch of them. It would have been nice to have two of them, one for each side as the socket side which was already flared ends up not as clean as the flared side we did, but still a huge improvement over my hack saw job above...Control arm pin pullers and this little flare tool are almost required for stock Z rear end work.

madkaw Posted November 14, 2011 Share #19 Posted November 14, 2011 Reread this thread and the other thread going on right now on the site about the part numbers-they're all there. Order from your local Nissan dealer and pick them up or I have had good results with Courtesy Nissan. They stock a lot of older parts and will ship to your door. You'll need the bushings and two different washers-three separate part #'s Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35145-oem-bushings-for-moustache-bar/?page=2#findComment-371753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenZZZ Posted November 14, 2011 Share #20 Posted November 14, 2011 Sorry..but where can you get OEM bushings for the whole car? Dont want them urethane..Like Steve says, get the microfilm and order the parts (local dealer, zcar.com, courtesyparts.com, FactoryNissanParts.com, etc...) My car only has urethane on the transmission bushings, inner rear control arms and sway bars. You'll need to swap out the 240Z part number for the 280Z lower differential stopper bushing.

ollie Posted January 10, 2012 Share #22 Posted January 10, 2012 Quick question for those who have installed OEM bushings; does it matter if you install the bushing and flare at the top or bottom of the bar? I'm guessing not, but I would like this to be as original. Thanks.

Patcon Posted June 7, 2013 Share #23 Posted June 7, 2013 GreenZZZDid Kevin ever have a batch of flaring tools made up. I would like to get one for my specialty Z tool set. I am getting ready to replace these bushings soonThanks, Charles Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/35145-oem-bushings-for-moustache-bar/?page=2#findComment-425067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing not, but I would like this to be as original. Thanks.Don't think it matters. I put the tool'd flare on the top thinking it would be rougher than the factory produced flare. The thinking was the weight sits on the bottom flare and you want that to be smooth. Ends up my top flare is smoother than the bottom since the socket put a bit of mar on the bottom lip, but otherwise its real good.
