View Full Version : Lower control arm rear bushes
Hey guys,
2 options from Nolathane, what suits TH?
Control arm - lower inner rear bushing #45442 - Standard replacement - suits slide on pin with lock nut
Control arm - lower inner rear bushing #45445 - Standard replacement - suits slide on pin without lock nut
Which models had the lock nut, which didn't?
Cheers.

From the cars that I've owned, it appears that all the Veradas got the bolt on, while everything else got the slide on pin. That not be the case however. (Am really only speaking for TJ onwards.)
Easiest way is to crawl under the car, behind the passenger front wheel & have a look at the rear of the control arm. If you see a bolt at the rear of the bush, it's a bolt on. If no bolt, it's a slide on pin.
If my verada has a locknut, and I have a spare hub and lower control arm to recondition, all bushes, bearings, ball joints etc, will the whole assembly with the slide pin fit where the arm with the lock nut one was, or are the verada arms and their mounting points different?

Yes it will fit.
Mounting points are no different at all. Only thing you must have is the appropriate rear bush for the control arm & it'll all bolt straight in.

Think you're on to something here...
Was at a mates last night and had 4 magna/rada's around.
02 GTV - Lock nut
99 KH Ei - Lock nut
00 TH Exec - Slide pin
02 TJ Commgames LE - Slide pin
Although Cary mentioned his 99 TH Sports had a lock nut. Maybe locknut was a higher spec thing? ie. Sports, VRX, Verada
