CalOffroad Nissan Bushes

These bushes are designed to give more flex for offroad use while still fitting into OEM or aftermarket application.
Can be used for GQ/GU upper and lower trailing arms, custom arms or as a captive engine / gearbox mount
Bushes can be purchased in any number and can be shipped world wide

Built for Nissan Patrol GQ/GU but fits many other uses.
