The dealers don't replace the bushing because they technically have no way to take it out per Nissan therefore they have to replace your entire subframe. If you buy a used subframe just because the bushing is blown it'll just blow again and be completely pointless for doing it all to begin with. Just install SPL solid in your oem and call it a day.

Just purchased whiteline poly bushings. Attached are some pics of my subframe in the car. Salvage yard just drilled another hole, used a non-standard camber bolt and put in an adjustable rear lower link to get it aligned.

I want to take it to the track and do not want a rear right suspension failure, so I am trying to rebuild it correctly.

The hit to the right rear put a kink in the gas filler tube. It takes forever to gas up the Z ...slow fill due to kink. Thats what started all this. Dealer said you need to drop the subframe to replace the filler tube, and dealer noticed the burst bushing, monkey rigged subframe and recommended I do the subframe if I was going to tear into it anyway for the filler tube.

One thing leads to another!
