no need to worry about that - i'm already planning on replacing the cradle mount bushes at a minimum! Well, I was going to anyway, then today when I pressure washed the dirt off I saw the rear bushes were cracked and broken anyway. So now my inner cheapskate doesn't feel bad...

Oh, also the thread on the last 2-3 mm of one of the halfshafts is stretched and damaged - looks like someone tried to tighten it up without the splines being correctly alligned (or something - hard to imagine how else they would have done it) and wasn't smart enough to realise something was wrong. Not a huge deal, i'll see if it can be cleaned up with a thread file and a die - when the nut is on properly it wont even seat on that part anyway.

I got a quote for whiteline bushes today too, and at the same time asked the guy about adjustable upper and lower arms. Unfortunately that particular bloke didn't know a damn thing about R33's, and didn't know about the arms either. In fact, first off he quoted me on the wrong bushes. Might just look for them online, at least there are pictures of them then.

Do the aftermarket adjustable arms pass engineering? Do they need a certificate?

Edit - found these on whitelines website. Assuming you used something similar Merv? They seem quite expensive for what they are...
