Thread: B14 Rear Beam Problem UPDATED FIXED

After having my car on a lift i realized that The bushing located in the rear beam near the passenger side of the car is very deteriorated and needs to be replaced ,

I went to Nissan and they said that bushing is part of the rear beam , and i would have to replace the rear beam ,I told him he was crazy and left.

Anyone ever replace this bushing before ?

get one from octat or somthing like that aka bolt in bars on the other forum without the dash. he'll send you a pair of polly replacements for a reasonable buck and you just have to get a deep ass hole saw cut the old one out clean it up and put the new one in. i also suggust getting his rear strut tower bar while you're at it, it's a bad ass thing





and yes i have purchsed and installed both of these parts through him.

i also have the caster bushing up front. jump on that one also.(if your car is lowered)

are u sure we are speaking of the same bushing ?

Are you talking about #11 in this diagram?



If so, yes. This is the poly replacement they're talking about:

b14/b15/p11 rear beam axle pivot bushings - spf1942k - $57.83

You can also get the original OE rubber ones from Courtesy Nissan or Everything Nissan (if you'd rather have that).

it almost looks like its inside the middle of #7 .

Ok, that's a different one. It's part # 55135, listed as a "Panhard Rod Bushing" (strangely enough). Something like ~$18 from CourtesyParts.com .

I'll report back at the end of the week. I'm getting new oem nissan bushings installed into the rear beam. It does seem it will prove to be a challenge though. (#11 on the picture)

I think mine is pretty beat up also, I need to replace all those bushings.

Amen on the panhard bushings. I've been watching mine for a while and I would like to replace it as well. It would be nice to find a polyurethane replacement.
