Hi All,
I am planning on starting to replace bushes - Panhard Rods, Radius Arms etc.
Is it OK to install Terrain Tamer bushes or must I fight with the dealers and get Nissan ones?
Thanks

Re: Bushes - Terrain Tamer or Nissan parts?
I have now replaced most of my suspension bushes with Terrain Tamer.
It's going to be a hell of a long time before I can say if they last as long as Nissan because those (apart from the shock bushes) all lasted at least 2 decades, but I will point out one HUGE advantage of Terrain Tamer bushes:
To replace the bushes with Nissan OEM, you need a pretty big press. To replace TT, you just need a couple of spanners.
However, even with that, they need to last a reasonable amount of time, and I just don't know how long they last yet.

Replaced the Panhard rod bushes over the weekend with Terrain Tamer ones.
Hardest part was getting the old bushes out, but used a bearing puller which worked fine in the end.
Wobbles are gone...

Hi Bruce [emoji2325] Do you mind sharing the link to the bush kit on the TT website or the part numbers of the bushes that you ordered? Regards BruceUnkredible wrote:Replaced the Panhard rod bushes over the weekend with Terrain Tamer ones.

Sure, The Part No is TSBK0028.
I ended up emailing Marinus directly as the website was a little confusing.
