Scheduled an appointment at the dealer for tomorrow morning for them to warranty cover my rear differential bushing that recently failed.

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...

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
