Parts for your 2017 Nissan Pulsar-Suspension bushes

2017 Nissan Pulsar Suspension Bushes

Suspension bushes absolutely are fitted to the 2017 Nissan Pulsar (C12). Technical references that confirm this include the Nissan C12 Service Manual (Front Suspension and Rear Suspension sections), which details rubber bushes in the front lower control arms, sway-bar (stabiliser) links and mounts, and the rear torsion-beam/trailing arm assembly. Aftermarket catalogues from well-known suppliers for the 2013–2017 Pulsar/Tiida/Sylphy platform also list specific replacement bushes for these locations, further verifying their use. So, yes—suspension bushes are relevant components on this model.

On the 2017 Pulsar, the bushes isolate vibration, quieten road noise, and keep wheel alignment steady under braking, cornering and over bumps. They’re bonded rubber (or polyurethane if upgraded) sleeves that sit where arms, bars and beams pivot. By allowing controlled flex, they help the Pulsar steer predictably and stop straight, while protecting metal parts from shock. When these bushes wear, the car can feel vague, make clunks over rough roads, scrub tyres, and wander on the motorway.

For servicing, it’s smart to inspect bushes every 20,000 km or 12 months, or whenever the vehicle is in for tyres, alignment or brake work. Look for cracks, perishing, torn voids, or displaced sleeves. Oil contamination from a leaking strut or engine/gearbox seep can also accelerate deterioration and should be addressed.

• Typical symptoms: clunks over speed humps, vague turn-in, uneven tyre wear, steering pull under brakes, and vibration at higher speeds.
• Good practice: replace bushes in axle pairs, torque fasteners at normal ride height, and complete a wheel alignment after bush or control-arm work.

Owners can choose between OE-style rubber bushes for comfort and low noise, or polyurethane for sharper steering feel and longevity—bearing in mind poly can add a touch more noise and firmness. Some bush positions are press-in
