Bluebird Trailing Arm Bushes
Does anyone have a part number for the Nissan Bluebird Adjustable Trailing arm Bushes.
They are slightly bigger than the normal Herrald ones and the QH catalogue doesn't have any in.
Any help would be really appreciated

Bad news, Vince.
They are not available separately from the arms from Nissan. They never wear out apparently. Mine have slight cracking on the outer lips, but are
solid inside.
If you really feel the need, there was a site where you could but nylon bars of various diameters from which you could turn out new bushes. I have
lost the link but I am sure someone has it

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

That's bad news because I've gone and removed one. I'll let you know what I find. I've got an account at a wholesale car
parts place. Looks like I'm looking through "every bin" until I find one. I'm sure they'll let me take the trailing
arm in to see....

A part number of a replacement would be useful! how easy were they to remove? - I imagined they were vulcanised in

I've been out today and found a replacement. Better than the original for the locost too. That's because the replacement I have found
has a 12mm hole for the bolt and not a 14mm one like on the Nissan one.
Anyway.... the wholesalers that I used carried "Pearl" bushes. The perl part number is PB2056 and it states on the bag....

HTH. BTW great tip salvaged off the Nissan. They really are the business. I've got 4 adjustable ones. That way I can adjust my geometry a
bit. Great.
