Morning all,

(PNC 5,6,7,8)

I want to source some for my C18NZ

Cheers

The front bar bushes are numbered on the rubber itself.

Your options for the C18NZ are -
No 5 (ident 2) - Part number 90 236 352, or
No 7 (ident 3) - Part number 90 345 064

I hope that helps.

To clarify,
If you undo the M8 nut and bolt holding the clamp to the trailing arm. (13mm socket and/or spanners).
You should be able to get the bush off the bar and read the number embossed into the rubber.

Thanks Rob,
That narrows down the parts search nicely.
I suspect that the number on the old bushes will be difficult to read as they're falling apart.
All the best

I found that mine were quite clearly visible, despite being the original 22 year old parts at the time.

Mine looked tatty, but cleaned up quite well, and could be read quite easily.
Although seven years later, my near vision is much weaker. So I use the zoom feature on my smart phone camera to see things better.

Same here. Old age is a bugger!

You are only as old as the woman you feel.

Unfortunately my long suffering other half is only 14 months younger than me.
And since signing the fateful certificate 28 years ago, 'feeling' has long since been banned.

No making up your own jokes why my sight is suffering.
- lol.
