So - I saw, what looked to be burnt oil on my freshly installed exhaust system, so I took it to Nissan - A buddy of mine works there - and he said it's the rear differential bushings + drive shaft.

Warranty is covering the drive shaft but obviously not the bushings... My question is - the smart move is to just order the rear differential bushing set off of Z1 Motorsports for $65, instead of $1500 + labor from the dealership - and have a buddy install it - right?

Am I missing something? The Pros of the forum / 370z's are there cons / pros to this route? Should I add anything to this change or replace anything while I'm doing this work already? What's the best route for this?

Here's the part I'm looking at...

Thanks guys. I am not super smart about all this - just know what I read and see on here!
