Unique features of the original Cedric and Gloria 430 bushings

Original bushings for Nissan Cedric and Gloria 430 have a structural feature that sets them apart from most similar products on the market. The inner sleeve has a thread, which allows grease to be pressed in and helps adjust the position of the bushing within the control arm. Essentially, there is an additional threaded insert inside the main sleeve that can be slightly screwed or unscrewed for more precise fitting.

However, it's nearly impossible to find such bushings on sale today. Therefore, owners of these models should focus on quality alternatives that ensure a tight fit without play.

When replacing bushings in upper control arms of the front suspension, an alternative option can be used with slight modifications:

1.Enlarging the inner sleeve diameter- it is necessary to increase it to 17 mm.2.Outer diameter

- among similar products, it might be 0.02mm larger, but there's no need to enlarge it further. Press fitting is possible without this modification, although it requires considerable force (e.g., with powerful pliers). - Important! When pressing in the bushing, make sure to use a spacer inside the control arm; otherwise, there’s a risk of deformation.

3.Adjusting length- the bushing needs to be shortened:

- The outer rim can be trimmed from the inner side (standard length is 32mm but slightly more can be kept).

- The inner sleeve should be cut so that its length from the mounting flange is 40mm.

After such modifications and pressing in, bushings fit perfectly without the need for additional washers or spacers.This solution ensures suspension reliability even when original parts are unavailable on the market. мм.
