Again I'm wondering how much trouble some of this stuff would be to make from scratch...No problem with simple bushes if you had a lathe, but wether Urethane a similar composite could be cast into threads, metal parts ect, does anyone know about these processes?
I understnd the old rubbers need incredible pressure and complex process to make, but maybe theres new suff that does the same job in two parts.

Wishful thinking, I know.

I was thinking perhaps they could be sourced and modded from some other car that had transverse leaf suspension, but the ones ive looked at have a completely different setup :(

Someone tell me to stop thinking (its ok im used to it) ;)

Numbers are Nolothane numbers... buy them where you get the best deals

And as for the front "bumpstop" rubber
Nissan only if they still have stocks... which I doubt
When I bought mine back in 2006 they said once supply was gone... they were gone

I tracked down a set of top and bottom ball joints (lets not start another thread about that). I got the rest of my stuff from peddars, bigger gas shocks for the rear and bigger front shocks but only oily's. I got nolathane rear shackel bushes and can comfirm they are the same as 1200.

The rest of my rubbers seem to be ok, I could do with a set of tie rod ends but don't have the cash atm. I have no issues with handling. I was actully a little impressed with leaf spring front end. Struts are over-rated.

yea ive been wondering that.

are these numbers from repco?

Hey Dundee or anyone, do you have the part number for the leaf spring rest rubbers...yknow the ones that are NOT bump stops but everyone calls them that, yknow the ones you cut for lowering.
Are they still available?
I want to lower my front a bit but would like to have the option of returning to stock should my imminent return to the apple isle require some more clearance ;)

Whats our options in the front swaybar department ?

Lower inner
Its a 1 piece steel outer bush... sure your number is right ?
Or are you using them in an upper situation and you don't have a lower ?
Either way... one is missing off your list

are all those numbers for just a 1000?

How hard can it be to make them if you had access to a lathe?
I remember working with this stuff called Delrin at uni, it was cheap as to buy and machined beautifully, have heard you can use it to make bushes?
