MSA Performance 84-89 300ZX Urethane Kit: $139.95
The long awaited urethane bushings for your Z31 are finally here! This kit includes bushings for the control arms, strut rods, sway bars with complete end link assemblies, and tie rod boots.
Part #23-4100ZX

Can be purchased through www.motorsportauto.com

These have been VERY long awaited in the Z31 crowd. Everything but the front control arm and maybe the strut rod bushings should fit the IRS S12 cars. This is so cool icon_biggrin.gif

Um can you not get the polyurethane bushings through Nismo? If I remember right they were reasonably priced too.

No they only carried end-link bushings. Not a full set.

I talked to the guys at MSA today and got some prices:

Front Strut Rods Bushings- $23.95 (pr)
Rear Control Arm Bushings- $14.95 (I believe he said there were 8 and this doesn't include endlinks)

I guess he said that the reason the whole kit is so much is becuz it includes "ALL" the bushings. This means it has everything for both 84-86 and 87-89 cars. Its practically 2 kits in one box. Plus endlinks are always pricey. Any way, this is basically all we need except the endlinks and I think a lot of us aready have those.

ergh, those rear bushings are for the IRS only i'm assuming. does anyone know what suspension is used on the 84 solid rear axle? it can't be a suspension only used on those cars, that just wouldn't make sense.
