GQ/GU Traling arms

Post by uninformed »

Hey all,

First up I have no clue about nissans.

Is there any diference between the stock Nissan GQ and GU rear trailing arms? OD, ID, bush size etc?

Where would be the best place in SEQ to get hold of a pair for a resonable price?

cheers

I have a set of RHS lower trailing arms with new bushes (under 1000km) you can have for $180 in Brisbane.

Bushes alone are worth $200 new.

thanks for the replies guys.

Im after stock as im going to use the chassis end in a hybrid arm. Long story short, it will be easy and keep the engineer happy.

Ive got my old ones here with bushes that are past there best and a slight curve to one, if you wanted only the ends they would be perfect for you.
$20
Also have a wagon I am wrecking which has arms in it, rusty, but unknown other than that.
let me know if interested :)

Cheers, Andy

I have heard the same thing, although never checked it out.
