Only because Nissan is fuckin stupid!! They have a rubber bushing prone to failure under hard driving embedded in a subframe member that has no reason for replacement.

I let a shop take care of it for <$300. His homemade puller for a 350Z did not work, so he ended up cutting it out. I provided the Whiteline bushing for him to install and immediately after delivery wished I had put in a solid SPL bushing
