Parts Confusion

Guru Meditation · Unread post by **Guru Meditation** » 28 Jul 2003, 16:59

Hi,
S'pose I should emailt he andyspares help but I thought one of you guys might be able to help...I need to change my rear suspension subframe mounts (all four) and rebush my rear shock absorbers. Question is I am a bit confused as to exactly which parts to order from A/S as the parts list is a fraction confusing:
N10162A REAR SUBFRAME MOUNT ZX ALL (REAR OF RR SUBFRAME) 6.50 Add
N10162 REAR SUBFRAME MOUNT ZX L/R REAR MOUNT FOR REAR SUBFRAME 9.50 Add
N10160A RR SUBFRAME MOUNT LH ZX ALL (FRT OF REAR SUBFRAME) 12.00 Add
N10160 RR SUBFRAME MOUNT LH ZX LH FRT BUSH FOR REAR SUBFRAME 19.50 Add
N10161A RR SUBFRAME MOUNT RH ZX ALL (FRT OF REAR SUBFRAME) 12.00 Add
N10161 RR SUBFRAME MOUNT RH ZX RH FRT BUSH FOR REAR SUBFRAME 19.50 Add
Also for the shock absorbers, how many bushes do I need? The lower bushes are perished so I realise that's two bushes to do the bottom of the two shocks but are the top bushes the same and can they be replaced the same?
Apologies if the above is a bit confusing and cheers for the help.

Ok, here goes.
The numbers with the A on the end are the same parts e.g. N10162 and N10162A are the same thing, but the A number is a copy part and the N10162 is OE quality. That that out the way.
So to change all 4 mounts you need
1x N10160 LH front rear mount
1x N10161 RH front rear mount
2x N10162 Rear rear mounts (the square ones)
I don't know about the shocker bushes, its always the lower ones that seem to take the hammering though. I'm sure that the ones we sell are the lower ones.

These are the front bushes I used for the rear subframe mounts i.e. the self steering ones. and these are defo the ones you want for the fornt of the rear subframe.
N10160 RR SUBFRAME MOUNT LH ZX LH FRT BUSH FOR REAR SUBFRAME 19.50 N10161 RR SUBFRAME MOUNT RH ZX RH FRT BUSH FOR REAR SUBFRAME 19.50.
Unfortunately I cannot help you with your rear bushes on your shock absorbers.

Guy's cheers for the advice v helpful. The shockers it must just be the lower bush available I'll buy a couple of those. Jon do you know what the quality of the pattern part vs OE quality is-would you buy the pattern part?

Um, well, in view of the hassle involved in doing this job, I'd be spending the extra on the OE parts here.
As I've got to do this job next month on my car, thats what I'll be using.........let me know how you get on.

Cheers Jon. I've ordered the four OE bushes required plus two shock absorber bushes as I can see visually the lower shock absorber bushes are perished. I'm probably going to have a go at it this weekend-when I go over bumps etc it really does sound like the back suspension is going to fall off-seriously!
I'll let you know how I get on.
