Okay so when I go over bumps or wear spots in the road my sc makes a fairly violent clunking noise. I am aware I need new struts but it sounds like it may be something else as well. Sometimes I hear a noise that sounds like rubber squeaking? control arm busing might be needed? Are polly mounts available to us and if so where?

I answered some of my own questions. I hope only some of the bushings need to be replaced and not all because they are a little pricey :O

I have a complete set of prothane front bushings for the front available in the for sale section if your interested.

actually, the bushings for every arm bushing on the car totals up to just over $100. If you're paying for labor, otoh, then maybe. unless it's the rear uca, shouldn't be too hard though.

Anyone know of the company energy suspension.They had a write up in the last issue of street trucks.Yeah i know///this is a sc forum but it stated in the article that they offer kits for nearly every car on the market.So any of you know if the sc is one of them.Parts are also polyurethane.i called but got voice mail.i guess i can go to the web site but i like to talk to a live person.

If you guys can point out where to buy id be greatfull. So far I have found bushing for each arm to be $100 so thats $200 each side because of upper and lower. I didnt plan on this costing $800.

prothane, picked mine up from Jegs. Summit has them, too, or any of a hundred other vendors.
and, yes, I am familiar with ES. have them all around on my Maxima.

Wow I didnt even think of jegs.. $56 for a set. Is the set just for one control arm or the whole front/rear?

Oh please search; https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...-bushings.html

Yeah I did searching but as normal I found a bunch of threads with jumbled reviews of distributors and arguments rather than part quality. I outsourced my search and I decided the Polythane sets from Jegs will be my way to go once I purchase coilovers.

There's two different bushing sets; one for the front, one for the rear

rear: http://www.jegs.com/i/Prothane/311/18-304-BL/10002/-1
