Whiteline differential bushing on a G37 project has started.
 
I am replacing my G37 AKA 370Z 2+2 diff bushings with G35 Whitelines, in my car port.
Since the G37 drivetrain, and suspension is identical to the 370Z, this might be of interest:

Looks promising. I wanted to get the solid bushing myself, but I don't want extra NVH. Let us know how it goes!

Good to know... I can't even find much product offering for the 370Z. :shakes head:

In progress.

Do let us know when you update the G37 forum so we can jump over and see your progress and issues you came across. I am doing this upgrade in the next 2 weeks and will be using the SPL bushings. My diff has a “breathing” issue so I need to change the side seals so I have decided to do the cover and bushings at that time as well.

Thanks for great write up. :tiphat:

Done!!

Nice, I think I saw this thread yesterday on MYG37 and you hadn't done the install yet. One question it looks like a "C" press (ball joint press) would work well for the install, do you think it would make it easier?

Nope!! I have a Kent-Moore ball joint press, the subframe is too big.


A fender washer, long bolt and nut, with a plate big enough to cover the hole is all thats needed, not much tension at all.

If I was on a hoist, I probably would have been able to push it in from the front by hand, but I was on my back!

Nice write up over there. :tup:

Very nice! I just had a set installed on my Z. Definitely better than the solid bushings I had previously.

is the g37 6speed manual differential (complete pumpking) the same as the 370z 6sp?
gear ratios and all?

Mitco39 05-24-2013 11:16 AM

Just checking... this is the kit that will work on our 370's right?

Whiteline 350Z/G35 Front and Rear Diff Bushings

Very interested in getting rid of the wheel hop. Especially now that its FI'd it feels like its going to drop the diff on the ground once it starts hopping.
