Genuine Nissan Bush Radius Arm GU Slotted - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ and Y61 GU 1987-2017 Coil

This is a Genuine Nissan New Old Stock (Clearance) slotted radius arm bush for GQ and GU Patrol models. This bush is located at the front of the radius arm, where it bolts up to the differential housing. Over time, the original rubber material degrades and perishes from constant flexing, load, and exposure to harsh Australian conditions. This leads to the bush separating and cracking, causing clunking noises from the front end, vague or wandering steering, and uneven tyre wear.

This slotted design is preferred by some drivers for the increased flex and articulation it offers during off-road use, although it's worth noting they can wear more quickly than solid-style bushes. Using an inferior, non-genuine bushing often results in premature failure due to lower-grade rubber compounds. This not only brings back poor handling characteristics and accelerated tyre wear but can also cause persistent suspension noises and place extra stress on other driveline components.

Product Features

• Genuine Nissan Quality: A New Old Stock (NOS) part manufactured to original factory specifications for a perfect fit and reliable performance.
• Enhanced Articulation: The slotted design allows for greater movement and flex in the front suspension, ideal for challenging off-road terrain.
• Restores Performance: Eliminates clunking noises and tightens up steering response by replacing a worn or failed original bushing.
• Installation Note: Replacement is a moderate to difficult workshop job. It requires removal of the radius arm and the use of a hydraulic press to fit the new bush.
• Important Recommendation: It is highly recommended to replace radius arm bushings in pairs to ensure balanced suspension performance. A wheel alignment is also required after installation.
