cradle arms (doh knock meh)

[slow323]

cash tight so i have to use the substitute cradle arms for the almera have a choice either the twain which is $295 an arm or use the chinese which is $350 an arm

i knw most ppl will say buy used but with good bushings but i find it would be hit or miss with that so im asking which one of the subs would be the better choice

[awesomeandre]

what happened to the original cradles

[Strugglerzinc]

whats the difference?

aren't they both chinee? Taiwan is just an island off china.

If you plan to upgrade in the future when cash is better, then either one should be fine based on my experience with other chinee/taiwan parts.

Strugglerzinc yeah was thinking the same thing same product but just different companies

awesomeandre still have them, time is the factor for me dont have the time to have the car down to have new bushings pressed in would be easier for me to just put on some new arms and then later on have the originals pressed.

so wats the cost to buy f used arms, press the good bushings..put up those on the car
and u'd still hav the set that came off for use and both should/would be genuine stuff

remember when ever u change them over u'd still hav to pay for alignment etc...

How long does it take to press in the cradle arm bushings? From my own experience, not very long.

Why don't you go by a one-stop shop like, say, Tone Automotive Limited, where they can take off the cradles, remove the old bushings, press in the new bushings, re-install the cradles and align the car?

BTW, if you could, go with OEM cradle bushings. They are of a much better quality than most of those substitutes that are being sold on the outside.

Any self respecting auto-machine shop can do that for you in less than an hour.

Maybe slow323 heard how long this "shop" takes to do it's servicing, no longer he wants to get a direct replacement to put in asap.

As I've said in other threads, the service from that place is HORRENDOUS. But of course.....that's just my meagre experience from the work they did on a B15

[D_bodyguard]

fown by us you can wait and get the bushings pressed and in 30 min or less they done why yh have to change the whole arm......looking like candle costing more than the funeral
