S14 S15 Suspension Retainer Bushing – Refit Auto Parts for Nissan S14 S15 (240SX 1995-1998), Black or Gold
S14 S15 Suspension Retainer Bushing for Nissan 240SX Builds, Black or Gold
This S14 S15 suspension retainer bushing is a refit part that the supplier lists for the Nissan S14 and S15 chassis, and it comes in a black or a gold finish. The supplier's fitment chart names the 1995–1998 Nissan 240SX coupe with the 2.4L four-cylinder engine. Easy Life Markets sells it for owners who are rebuilding or modifying the underside of one of these cars and want to replace soft, worn factory rubber with a rigid part.
A bushing is the piece that sits between two parts of the chassis or suspension and decides how much they are allowed to move against each other. Factory bushings are rubber because rubber soaks up noise and vibration. The price is that rubber flexes under load, and on a car that is twenty-five years old or more it has usually cracked or gone soft. The bushing article explains the idea in more detail. As the photos show, the pieces in this listing are rigid, machined-looking parts and not rubber ones, so they are aimed at people who want movement taken out, not comfort added.
What You Get
The supplier's packing list reads "Suspension system retainer bush x 1". The product photos show what that one set looks like:
- 2 x large round cup-shaped pieces
- 4 x smaller stepped collar pieces
That is six pieces in the photos. The supplier does not spell the piece count out in writing, so if the exact number matters for your build, ask us before ordering and we will check with the supplier. Bolts, washers and fitting instructions are not listed as included.

Checking Fitment
The supplier lists this part for:
- Nissan 240SX 1995 – Base and SE coupe, 2.4L I4 DOHC
- Nissan 240SX 1996 – Base and SE coupe, 2.4L I4 DOHC
- Nissan 240SX 1997 – Base, LE and SE coupe, 2.4L I4 DOHC
- Nissan 240SX 1998 – Base, LE and SE coupe, 2.4L I4 DOHC
- Nissan S15, named in the supplier's text but without a model-year chart
Those 240SX years are the S14 body. The listing does not say which mounting point on the car the bushing is for, and it does not give a Nissan part number to cross-check. So measure before you buy:
- Take the old bushing out, or measure it in place, and compare it with the 58 mm and 50 mm diameters above.
- Check the bolt that passes through it against the 13 mm centre hole.
- Check the depth of the mount against the 28 mm and 12 mm heights.
- If your car is an S15 or a version sold outside North America, send us photos of the mount and we will help you compare.
Rigid Bushings: What Changes on the Car
Swapping rubber for a rigid bushing is a trade, and it is fair to say so plainly. With no rubber to squash, the part it locates stays where it is under power, braking and cornering, which is what drift and track owners of these cars are after. The other side of the trade is that rubber was also filtering noise. Expect to hear and feel more from the driveline and the road after a rigid bushing goes in. On a weekend or competition car most owners accept that. On a quiet daily driver, think about whether you want it.
When the Old Bushings Are Finished
- Cracked, split or oil-soaked rubber when you look at the mount
- A clunk from under the car when you come on or off the throttle
- The car feeling loose or shifting at the rear under load
- Alignment settings that do not hold
- Visible movement at the mount when a helper rocks the car
Fitting Notes
- Support the car on stands rated for its weight and support the part you are unbolting as well.
- Old rubber bushings are often pressed or bonded in. Have a press or a proper bushing removal tool ready, and clean the bore before the new piece goes in.
- Trial-fit every piece dry before final assembly so you know which piece sits on which side.
- Tighten the fasteners to the figures in the Nissan service manual for your car.
- Re-check the fasteners after the first drive.
These parts hold suspension and chassis components in place, so the work is safety-related. If you do not have the tools or the experience, have a qualified mechanic or a shop that knows S-chassis cars fit them.
Black or Gold?
Both colour options are the same part. Pick whichever suits the rest of the build. Once the car is back on the ground the bushings are mostly out of sight.
Who This Part Is For
It suits 240SX and Silvia owners building a drift, track or fast road car, and workshops that prepare these cars. It is not the right choice if you want a factory-soft ride.
Common Questions
Is this a genuine Nissan part? No. It is an unbranded aftermarket refit part. It is not made by Nissan.
Does one order cover the whole car? The packing list says one set, and the photos show six pieces. Confirm with us if you need the count in writing.
Will it fit an S13? The supplier names only S14 and S15. Compare the dimensions with your mount, or contact us first.
