on all the exposed bolts and nuts you can apply a light coat of engine oil.. just use a rag and wipe on. dont spray WD40 on it cause it might get into the threads and loosen it. lol

Proved to the world that I have better brakes than a bro-truck. Now I get a new rear bumper, electronic assembly, tail lights, etc. Fun stuff!

Apparently not. The bushing is part of a cross member that is not covered under the powertrain warranty. So a <$100 part that is made of rubber and therefore prone to failure is embedded inside a $900 cross member part which costs $1600 in labor. Nice work, Nissan

On the bright side, I will be ordering the Whiteline bushing for an upgrade DIY I guess since everyone wants $1000 minimum for labor...

Ordered a set of Whiteline differential bushings. Found a Z shop nearby that will do the install for $270. He said he has a tool that just requires removal of the diff and almost no suspension parts and saves about 5 hours in labor

bring it to any reputable shop. shouldnt charge more than 4hours of labor. my local Z speciality shop said they do them in 3hours flat

edit. saw your above post after posting. good job! 270 is a totally fair price as itd take you 6-8hours to do it on jackstands/your back
