Differential bushing

nismonster · 02-23-2013, 05:01 PM

Hey guys, just throwing in my 2c -- I went to Z1 for them to fix an exhaust leak and they found my oem bushing was busted. Fluid everywhere. They replaced the busted bushings with the whiteline bushings for the 350z and I couldn't be happier. I would never want to replace a busted OEM bushing with another OEM bushing -- it would just fail again!

I never have tracked my car, but I do DD it and drive it hard pretty much every day. Just took a quick drive after the install and the rear end feels much more solid -- especially on hard 1-2 shifts.

I noticed earlier in the thread someone said the 350z bushing do not fit 370z. Not sure if this is true, but if you have an experienced, reputable shop such as Z1, the bushings can easily be made to fit. I wish I took a picture of the busted OEM, but you can easily see the whiteline are much better quality.

I just received confirmation from John at Z1, that the Whitelines work, and there were no modifications done during install.

Just to make sure, it's this set, correct?
Whiteline 350Z/G35 Front and Rear Diff Bushings

EDIT: Does the Energy set work? It's like half of the price...
