KKtrips Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 An LA Lancer is NOT the same as an EX Lancer - Ring BnT and get them to check the Nolathane catalogue again and look under the correct model.. LA - EX - LA is mid 70's and EX is early 80's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSM Garage Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think the NZ EX Lancers were LR-LS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis1791 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Had the same dilemma nolathane dont have ex in catalogue. Have to remove and match up. We ended up throwing some 2nd hand arms in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSM Garage Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Chaos on here successfully purchased some Nolathane bushes for his Lancer. 'EX' is not the model name/number. You could try A171A, A172A, A175A (Jap import models) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranter Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Those are not inner lower control arm bushes though, radius rod and sway bar bushes are easy enough to get. Remove the arm and press it out and try and find one from the mount shop or similar, or find second hand arms if you don't want the car off the road. If Starion are the same the will be available from the USA as they have everything for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 If you can get the bush measurements I can look it up at work for a nolathane replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2JZKP Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 different end of the car but i had to replace some rear bushes for the rear diff arms in my 81 ex a couple of years ago and managed to get them brand new from mitsi for reasonably cheap, 30 sumthing trade from memory, so that may be a go, unless you specifically want nolathane?

Scrubb Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Is this the only bush you replaced or did you replace a bunch of them? If so do you have the part numbers for the others and where you got them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex lancer wat! Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 got all from repco. i replaced all bushes up front also ball joints and all tie rods (inner and outers) ill get you a list of everything tonight. is pretty easy to do everything one you have all bushes but because there are no listings for ex i went by the 1st gen lancer and starion listings and used samples to get the right ones etc. i could also get you repcos rrp for each bush/ball joint/ tie rods if you wanted me to.

Scrubb Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Tie rod #'s will be handy for me if you can get them. This should make buying these a lot easier for everyone. I see this question being asked a few times now. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
