loose 280zx suspension part
4 Attachment(s)
:102: hey guys! So ive been driving around for a few days and when i would turn hard right i would hear this click thunk sound. So naturally i knew there was something off. Specially after redoing the lower front suspension not to long ago with some buddies of mine. :icon_pidu: So i was a bit worried still,and decided to creep under my car today and well this is what i saw! :103:
Damn Tension rod Bushing screw popped off/broke off My passenger right side bushing part is loose and i can move it around, so im assuming that has been the click thunk ive heard when turning the wheel and hitting bumps. Lesson Learned here is-:075: Dont Put urethane Bushings on A TENSION ROD! Now my question is what now!:confused: what exactly do i need to replace, or do... any insight would be great :023: thanks guys in advance the first pic Right front passenger side second pic: right hand passenger side loose bushing third pic: left hand driver side bushing how it should be.. maybe minus the urethane bushing now after this..:053: fourth Pic- Right hand passenger side problem area |

Better take those urethane bushing out of your TC rods before they break on you.

hahaha @WanganDevilZ where can i get the nut to hold the bushings in place though. thing fell off while driving dont feel like going and looking for it somewhere on the 710 freeway

Ok lol once again I'm a lil freaked ;) now I have the red bushings but my tension rod is a funky buillit alum . . . . That is adjustable with a threaded section in the middle . . . . Car came this way no idea who made the parts . . . . . And with the t top well scares the crap out me. . . Ill go Friday and actully get to posting pics have you guys verify the safety and maybe a maker so bam you can order what I got. . . . And the big brake kit I'm running just found its all after market so I'm screwed for pads and or rotors. . . .

Would i just have to buy a tension rod separately in order to get the part that my passenger side is missing? |
Well if you only need the nut and the threads on the rod aren't damaged then maybe you could ask one of the people in the for-sale section that are parting out their cars? Or you could take the other tension rods nut off and go hunting for a grade 8 (I'd imagine its grade 8 anyway) replacement at NAPA, hardware store, or Nissan dealership? Good luck.

Yea going high grade bolts would help. . . I wonder if black dragon would have them. . . Not high jacking . . . Mine are much larger than stock and have been no probs so far but I'm lost on who makes the part on mine if we can get a maker well may solve the issues of running poly:102:
