Nissan Micra K12 Front Lower Control Arm Uprated Rubber Bush Set

Refresh the front suspension of your Nissan Micra K12 with this complete uprated rubber front lower control arm bush set.

Supplied as a 4-piece set, these bushes replace the ageing original lower control arm bushes with an uprated rubber alternative, helping restore more positive suspension location and improved front-end response without moving to a much harsher solid or spherical-bearing arrangement.

An ideal upgrade for road, fast-road and modified K12s, as well as vehicles simply requiring replacement of worn original suspension bushes.

Complete 4-Piece Set

This kit contains 4 bushes, providing the replacement bush components required for the front lower control arms.

Replacing the bushes as a complete set helps ensure both sides of the front suspension are operating with components of a similar condition and specification.

Why Replace the Original Bushes?

The lower control arm bushes play an important role in locating the front suspension while still allowing the controlled movement required during normal suspension operation.

As the original rubber ages, it can become:

• Cracked
• Perished
• Soft
• Torn
• Separated from its Sleeve
• Excessively Compliant

Worn bushes can contribute to vague handling, unwanted suspension movement, knocking and inconsistent wheel alignment under load.

Considering the age of the K12 platform, replacing deteriorated original bushes can make a noticeable difference to how tightly and consistently the front suspension behaves.

Uprated Rubber Construction

These bushes use an uprated rubber construction, providing increased suspension control while retaining the compliance associated with a rubber-bushed suspension system.

This makes them particularly suitable for customers wanting improved suspension response without the additional noise, vibration and harshness that can be associated with more extreme solid or spherical-bearing suspension components.

They are well suited to:

• Daily Drivers
• Fast-Road Cars
• Lowered K12s
• Performance Builds
• Suspension Restorations
• Occasional Track Use

Some increase in suspension feedback may be noticeable compared with soft or heavily worn original bushes.

Lowered & Modified K12s

Lowering a vehicle and fitting performance tyres can increase the loads transmitted through the suspension bushes.

Uprated lower control arm bushes can help provide more consistent suspension location as part of a wider K12 handling package.

For the best results, they can be combined with suitable:

• Springs or Coilovers
• Dampers
• Anti-Roll Bar Components
• Chassis Bracing
• Performance Tyres
• Correct Wheel Alignment

Installation

Lower control arm bushes are safety-critical suspension components and should be installed by somebody suitably experienced with suspension repair.

Removal and installation may require suitable workshop equipment to press the original bushes from the control arms and correctly install the replacements.

During installation, inspect:

• Lower Control Arms
• Ball Joints
• Mounting Bolts
• Chassis / Subframe Mounting Points
• Bush Housings
• Anti-Roll Bar Components
• Surrounding Suspension Components

Bushes must be installed in the correct orientation where applicable.

Where the bush design requires final tightening at normal ride height, the appropriate installation procedure should be followed to avoid unnecessarily preloading the rubber.

Wheel Alignment Recommended

Following replacement of front lower control arm bushes, we recommend carrying out a professional wheel alignment.

Replacing worn bushes can alter the resting position of the suspension compared with the previous worn components, so alignment should be checked before returning the vehicle to normal use.

What's Included?

• 4x Uprated Rubber Front Lower Control Arm Bushes

Supplied as one complete set.

Control arms, ball joints and mounting hardware are not included unless specifically stated.
