910 estate suspension bushes (Read 129 times)

[Talking Hoarse]

Hi
My 910 estate is one of the latter ones with the 4-linked coil sprung rear suspension & solid axle.
Whilst I would like to leave well alone, I reckon it would benefit from bushes for the inner arms (ie the arms that mount next to the diff) - as although all of the bushes look & feel OK the car tips and skews slightly @ the rear when one wheel lifts over a speed hump etc.
However (I think) this setup was unique to only the very last European 910 estates so are pretty rare. Also I reckon that Nissan dont list the separate bushes for the inner arms - only for the (outer) trailing arms.
Anyone know if separate bushes are available anywhere - ie were the arms shared with another Nissan car?
Or does anyone have a pair of these arms that I can rebush (as some workshops will make up poly bushes on a lathe).

And ... brakes ... does anyone know if HEL or Goodrich etc do braided brake hoses for the front of a 910 - ie with those funny blocks to attach at the caliper end?

i have a suspicion S12 silvia front hoses might be the same. 30psi might know better

I'd be looking at Whiteline in Australia.

Their website is great as you can search for bushes by size as well as my make/model. I got bushes for my IRS back end from them. There's a high chance you can get the bushes from them as the Ozzys had the live rear end.

As for hoses I'd have to look at the calipers to see what happens when you take that block off - is a banjo fitting or a normal male fitting?

they work as a banjo, the block has a peg to stop the thing working loose.

Many thanks 30psi (may I call you Thirty?)
Sadly - at least as far as I know - the Australian 910 estates were never coil sprung, and so would not have had these arms. I have already fallen foul before of Australian 910 specs - eg I think their 910 racks were larger diameter mounts than UK racks.
So unless the arms are used on another Nissan that probably leaves me trying to measure the existing bushes without destrying them at least initially, and then matching up size to Whiteline etc else making up on a lathe out of polybush bar.

I am pretty sure that the front brake hoses are same for all 910 cars.

Top man Will - you are correct according to my research now. The part number for 910 front brake hose cross matches to S12 too. Thanks - that opens up Goodridge for the fronts. And I reckon that the single rear hose will be easily matched up or maybe made up (by those nice chaps @ Pirtek?).

Rally design sell most of the bits need to make your own lines, i've got all the bits to remake the ones on my 810 using euroquip reuseable fittings.

www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=562_85_248_249

I think the bits for all of mine came to around £40.

Also they can make anything you want using goodridge bits and have a good ridge crimper tool, thus making them match a front set if you find some that work.

Australian 810-910 wagon is leave spring only.sedans are 4 link,
USA wagon has the coil spring update.

these bushes never originally available seporatly.
so its only recently that these are available as replacment parts.

R31-pintara/skyline 5 link sedan/wagon uses the same bush as local built 4 link 910 83-86 sedan.
I have no idea why the early 810-910 has a different part number-it can only be the outer diameter.

I purchased nolathane bushes for the R31 skyline wagon as the originals are expensive-at the time you could by a set for less than 2 slabs of beer.
adjustable arms are very common now to fix driveline vibrations.not unusual to find home made arms.

Thanks Dave. that gives me something to work with.
