Nissan R31 Skyline - Front Sway Bar Bushing Kits

Overview

Upgrade your Skylines front end feel with a stiffer, more direct response. Our Front Sway Bar Bushings provide sharp handling and stability. These components restore proper sway bar function by eliminating the excess play and fatigue that builds up when soft, old and worn bushings deteriorate.

The link bushings cushion the connection between the sway bar and lower control arms, while the chassis mount bushings secure the bar firmly to the chassis. Together, they reduce unwanted movement, improve cornering response and dampen vibration for a more predictable driving feel.

These bushings are a durable upgrade, proven to perform like Polyurethane, designed to be a precise OEM+ style fit. Our unique design incorporates a raised ring that locates and seats the top-hat washers that the link bushes compress into.

All components are designed for R31 front suspension (Macpherson Strut).

Installation Guide

*We encourage the use of PTFE/Teflon grease to lubricate working faces of all bushings, silicone grease works as well however it will wash out quicker.

1. Remove the wheel to access the front end suspension.
2. Using a 14mm socket/spanner remove the bolt securing the front sway bar link bushings to the lower control arm (LCA).
3. Ensure you have all 4x washers and the sleeved spacer that complete the sway bar link assembly. (This hardware can be reused)
4. Using a 14mm socket/spanner remove the chassis mount brackets holding the chassis mount bushings to the chassis (Located next to the castor/tension rod bracket).
   
5. Remove and dispose all old bushings.
6. Follow the referenced Schematic diagram to locate and perform the correct order of reassembling the link bushes, washers and the sleeved spacer (In most cases the LCA will need to be dropped at the K-frame mounting point as well as removing the nuts holding the castor/tension rod to the LCA - this is to open more space between the top of the sway bar and LCA). Once the new bushings are installed the compression applied through the securing bolt will restore original geometry.
7. Before reattaching the LCA and castor/tension rod, press-fit the chassis mount bushing into the original chassis bracket and loosely reattach/fasten both back to the chassis.
8. Remount the LCA & caster/tension rod and fasten sway bar link bolt until all link bushes have your desirable tension loaded (bushes should be compressed and squished, ensure factory nyloc nut is still intact on the underside of the LCA connecting to the sway bar link bolt, this will prevent backing out).
9. Fasten nuts and screw on chassis mount brackets until bottom out.
10. Remount the wheel and you are ready to cruise...

*Ensure all fasteners are retensioned when vehicle is under load (ie. on the ground) - we encourage driving after install and retensioning all fastening hardware.

*NOT INTENDED FOR ROAD USE
