tell your cousin to ring up thirds and explain..

the bushes shouldnt shag themselves. .unless they werent tightened properly.

But who knows...

after a phone call they may be able to help him out.. from memory - i think they use geniune nissan bushes.. but not too 100 percent sure on that one.

3rds use nissan, snake sell seperate from memory and most end up getting the poly ones that shit themselves soon

the bushes aren't designed to be constantly flexed up to max all the time
they do flog out fast .... guys in comps are replacing them after every comp
