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 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.
