gnosez Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I've got about 5 years and 30,000 miles of hard driving on my poly bushings and adjustable (poly/delrin) control arm bushing. How does one determine if it's time to replace any or all of these (other than what's in my wallet)? I'm replacing the inner-outer tierods and ball joints (Nissan OEM), front shocks and putting on new AZ brakes as well so is now the right time to spend a few hundred dollars more or do they have more life in them?

mom'sZ Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Since you're in there anyhow, I'd give them a very close inspection. I'd be looking for deformation of the bushing material, I've heard that they sometime squish out of place. Also check for any scoring or grooving since they rotate instead of flex. Make sure they seem to maintain there hardness and give them a good greasing if you don't find any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
