Hi all,
First post here. I picked up a 2011 nismo last year. Once I got it in the air i noticed the bushings we're leaking. I took it to the stealership, and they confirmed bad bushings. My extended warranty isn't immediately covering it, and want a second opinion.

I took it to another shop here in town, and they're saying the bushings are fine. I'm inclined to believe they aren't familiar with oil filled bushings, and don't know what they're looking at. I've seen the leaks myself, I know the bushings are bad.

At 20k miles i wouldn't expect bad bushings. Seems it was driven hard on salty roads, and put up wet.

Any advice, or recommend a proper Z mech here in Las Vegas?
