Hello,I was wondering if you could assist me I am looking for a bushing that is on the right had side front of the diff, my car is making a repetitive thudding noise while driving. Not to bad in 4th or 5th gear but is really bad in 1st and slowly goes away as long as I do not accelerate too fast. I am not sure which differential bushing it is and I need one asap. I liffed my car and used a crowbar to see where my drive shaft has play and this is where. Can you assist me?

Now this is not a pic of my car but this is the part I have a 90 NA z32 but its almost the same.Can someone point me in the right direction?Thank you!

The cost for parts are nickels and dimes compared to the work you'll put into removing the back diff. You don't have too drop it all the way, but you'll be doing some work. I only did the front two because of time. I don't know for sure, but I think you may need a press to put in the back ones. Front two fixed my problem for now. Good luck. Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't been around Z's long

front two also fixed mine as well, I replaced the rears when I had to rebuild the third member though.

So what is the exact name of the bushings and do they come with the energy suspension kit? a good website to order them?
