Cheers guys.

track control arm, or TC bushes

get 280zx poly ones from superflex mate, they arew the same,;).

Check this thread:-

Bushes

Superflex SPF 0927 are £4.89 + VAT each, so about £25 plus delivery.

Let me know how you get on, I'll be needing new bushes soon.

that's a tension-rod bush isn't it ? Runs from the hub to the front of the car at an angle ?

yup, same thing, different name :)

the guy got back to me,

he can supply me a kit of poly ones from the US, for 25.25 +VAT which isnt bad.

also while i was asking i asked about the ARB link bushes as those have seen better days too, he has the fronts in stock @ £1.38 + VAT

and has a Replacment one Kits for the rear of the 280ZX that uses the same 10mm bushes as the front.

would upgrading the 8mm rear bushes to 10mm make any noticable diffenence??

also assuming that the replacment ones would need an M10 bolt, would i need to modify my ARB and hub area to take the M10 instead of M8???

kits is £17 + VAT

Copy of Email, the guy is really helpful to.

Cheers.

The tie rod bushes can be substituted with our Z/ZX set - four bushes
and a pair of collars - £25.25 + VAT - awaiting stock from next USA
shipment, approx. 1 - 2 weeks.
For the ARBs, I have individual bushes which match the fronts only
(£1.38 + VAT per unit) or we have a selection of replacement link
assemblies which include bushes - the short version for the front (same
as our 280ZX) and long version for rear (same as 280ZX / 300ZX) - these
are £17.95 + VAT a pair. These use the same larger front bushes in
urethane all round.
Regards,
Mike at MJP

Washes normaly rot

Just a word on these bushes, when you fit them you might want to consider getting washers to fit with them aswell , when i did mine the washers had rotted through, felt loads of difference when done though. :)

also asked him bout upgrading the rears to 10mm and he said they use them on there 280ZX no probs without mods, i assume the 280ZX std has m8 same as the S12.
