Lower Control Arms

Jul 11th, 2003, 06:20 AM

The lower control arms on my son's 92 Maxima have worn out bushings. It doesn't look impossible to replace these, but everyone keeps saying "assembly only" and these for big $$$.
Anyone know of a bushing repair kit? Need to save some money on this car. Thanks for any info.

I believe There is a company that makes Urethane bushings for the lower control arms, but I'm not sure about for your 3rd gen max. I'll look and get back with ya.

I`m sure they have to be disassembled and pressed on. It involves a bit of time. but can be done at home with some layup time, ie. take apart and take to the shop for replacement(press on the bushings) re- assembly.

Still looking for bushings. Had a couple of control arms pulled at the local yard....they were just as bad as mine

I haven't checked it out yet but the part numbers I got are, Front bushings #54590-85E00, Rear bushings #54570-85E11. These are listed for a 1989 Max, but according to the post they will fit.
