hmmmm...
are they a 2 piece bush? as in 2 pieces in each end of each arm? i was jus thinking they were one piece and pressed in/out from either side.
thats was where i got my $200 price from. (4 x $50)

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.
