when you ask nissan and they tell you, you have to buy the the whole rod at over $300, yeah i'll buy $35 worth of superpro poly bushes.

wouldn't touch nolothane. useless crap that stuff is.

nissan will sell you complete panhards unless you have the part number. I spat a urethane panhard bush out of the chassis end front driving up a waterfall, not fun with no steering at the top.

When i installed an adjustable front panhard, it came with poly bushes. After 2 day trips they were flogged out. I replaced them with nissan rubber bushes and even after a 38500 km trip around oz they were still fine. So yes, they are worth the extra money.

Always use rubber for all bushes on a Nissan.

$20 each for panhard rod bushes
$150 a set for radius arm flex bushes
$170 for rubber castor correction bushes
$60 for a set of 4 radius arm to chassis mushroom bushes
$40 each for upper and lower control arm (trailing arm) bushes.
