I'm trying to find /any/!! of the bushings for my 4 link rearend, i have noltec urethane in there now and one has disintegrated into little blue chunks, i am having no luck finding even a junk aftermarket rubber bushing to use temporarily...

what do they call them? couldnt find them at all even at my old sources, am i calling them the wrong thing?

i guess noltec doesnt exist anymore, so what do i do? i'm about to just make a set, it's not that hard...

The correct term is "B310" -- your car is not a 120Y, which usually means B210, which doesn't have a 4-link rear end.

Nissan list the bushings in their 2009 catalog.
55045-H8500 BUSH-LOWER LINK
55046-W5000 BUSH-UPPER LINK

The originals last at least 30 years, so why go the noltecs which have already disintegrated?

only one of the noltec bushings failed, it was an odd color when it was put in, all the other ones are fine after 4 years, that happens sometimes with badly mixed resin.

anyway, i figured out what the deal with those bushings is, it's a ford mustang panhard rod bushing ( pretty much any year 1980 - 2000 ), you take the metal sleeve off the smaller of the 2 that come in the box, then cut 1cm off the center metal tube, and there ya go... getting them in without a hydraulic press is a bit annoying.

they are not 'obsolete' or unavailable just described strangely in the aftermarket parts listings.

Good to know. I have a few Ford parts in my Datsun 1200 too.
