I would not use anything other than a genuine Nissan OEM part for this.

Junkyard bro. Look for a place where you pull the part yourself its cheaper.

I'd get a clean junked OEM one rather than a new aftermarket one.

I got the Dormans from here. They've been on there over two years, and have been dragged over a rock or three... I haven't had any problems. That's not to say you couldn't I guess. I know I wouldn't bother with that PITA rear bushing in the sub-frame ever, ever again for anything!

The other thing I learned is that I had to compress the LCA to about stock height to get the torsion bar to bottom out in the anchor...this was a hard lesson. A buddy and I beat on the drivers side bar until we thought it HAD to be bottomed out. A week later I was on my favorite trail with 4 other people in the X, at night...and stripped the splines out of the new anchor. Save the old ones! I don't think you can buy them separately. Glad I had all that armor that night for sure!
