I'm after some rear control arm bushes for my cab chassis patrol and was wondering if it realy matters if there genuine or not or is there a difference between the rubber bush or the polyurathane bush, and what would you guys recomend for a vehicle that does a lot of offroad work your info on this matter would be most helpfull.

I'd go for rubber over poly bushs, they flex better & last longer.

Genuine Rubbers they only way to go....but if you want the poly I have a set that is in the rear upper trailing arms - they are for sale complete with adjustable cromolly arms - powdercoated black.
PM if you want em you can always buy the Genuine rubbers later and press them in.

By the new bushes from Offroad industries they are put together like the original rubber bushes in that they have a steel outer casing but use polyurifane in side that is shaped to give better articulation and they cost $5 less each than from Nissan

Cool, so the ORI ones are only $11 a pop? Not bad...
