That's the hard part. Labor don't come cheap and described to be a real pain to remove. Hard to describe but I noticed a nice difference with the Whitelines.

Went to the store to pick up some choks when I bumped into an historic car show. I don't know what's historic about a srt10 but you know... beast!

Vanquish, beatles, prowlers, f100 and more cars that were beyond my time.

Saw a guy with a Nissan engine in his vanquish + another with a 240zx...

After seeing so many nice cars I got a bit spirited in my drive home and took a few detours and kinda accidentally intentionally rev'd all the way up till it limiter kicked me... Mileage?

What did you do with your SENTRA today

Driving in to work today, the suspension is so soft, it's a wonder I'm not sea sick.
Hopefully have the Z back on Fri.
Wonder if I can hit the Insurance up for Dramamine?

Ya might want to check the packaging, I just replaced mine (yes, a total PITA), but the larger bushings were all messed up. The thick ones, the one the hole diameter was too big for the sleeve and both of them the rubber was split where it stepped down. Joe at ZSpeed looked through his stock and found a couple sets similar, fixed me up though... Great customer service!!!!

I rescued my daughter and friends from a spin out and tire wheel separation.

Now she knows not to gun it coming out of a turnaround on wet roads.
Luckily that was the only damage.

She did a 180 and was facing traffic coming out of the turn around. Her rear right tire hit the curb as she spun and the tire separated from wheel.

Just as I was trying to figure out how to jack up her jeep a wrecker comes by and lifts it for me. I was like uh whats up. He said your jeep now change the tire. I was like whoa what do I owe you. He said your call. Go figure spare was flat. ugggh My ex stopped by and took the tire while he and I waited. I was like I got 40 for your time. He got a call as the jeep was up in the air. He was there like 30 minutes or so really nice guy.

So that is what I did with my Z today

all better. had the bushing installed today at the cost of 4 labor hours. also had the gt-spec lower control brace installed and a subsequent alignment.

now to clean off the gunk left behind. oh and did i mention the bushing is AMAZING? my shifts are buttery smooth again. and i noticed there is a slight hum when decelerating now, but hardly noticeable
