tanker Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 After a search of the local parts dealers I have been unable to find a dealer able to help me order a compression/tension rod and bushings for my 93 XE. Just wondering if there is anyway to purchase these new or do I have to search through local salvage yards. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me on this one.

GhostPath Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 1. Don't get the stock tension rod bushings. Get the polyurethane ones from Energy Suspension. 2. What do you mean by the dealers not being able to help you order the part? It's still a standard item. It has to be sent in from the Nissan warehouses, but they still have plenty. If your dealers just suck, call Nissan Corporate and complain, then go to www.courtesyparts.com and get yourself some tension rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Talk to steevo or go to ruggedrocks.com he has your bushings there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if there is anyway to purchase these new or do I have to search through local salvage yards. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me on this one. I just got every single front end bushing (including tension rod bushings) and ball joints/tie rod ends from my local Napa dealer. Had them all in 1 day. They should be available from any good local parts house no problem. Steer clear of the big Pep Boys style supermarket stores and find one that caters to local repair shops. I was surprised to see that these parts were available in several brands as well, some cheaper than others. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 t/c rods will be rotten in the salvage yards, they rot under the bushing even if they still have the clearcoat on them. about $50 each at nissan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 thank you all for your help. I ordered two compression rods from a local nissan dealer with all the fixings. I will be looking into the polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension like ghostpath suggested. No pics yet as I am away from home on a business trip. As soon as I can get the work done I will post more. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondo Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 MOOG bushings are what I replaced mine with. I'm not sure if you have a car quest where you live but they had 'em in stock for like $30 where I'm at. Can't beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call them, they also have the tension rod. https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=4129 Edited May 25, 2008 by Kn0xville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
