front bushing in rear subframe shot

[zukitek]

Ok ...Im reaching here....Is it true that you have to replace the whole rear subframe when the front bushings break .I have mine mounted solidly right now per my own fabbed appliances ,but im not really happy with the vibration /extra driveline noise this presents .Is there another solution ...I.E. aftermarket urethane mounts or such as that.

you gotta drop the subframe and press out the busted bushings.

If only.....More like burn them out with a torch! They make Poly bushings but I can't remember what website they were on.

You can have em pressed out. It's alot easier than torching and hacksawing since your machinist is doing the work. LOL Hell of alot better than spending a day doing that crap. Never EVER again.

Yeah I have yet to take that endeavor on. I'm lazy so I just intalled spacers!

That's pretty much what I'm doing..just taking the easy way out and using spacers. I know there are full replacement bushings aside from teh spl solid mounts, but I don't remember where to get them. I would actually rather replace the whole bushing with a urethane one if I could find em again.

Found em..for those who are interested. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nissan-240S...wItem

Full replacements without being solid aluminum. Or, Energy makes full replacements, but people always look for them under 240's. The actual replacement is listed for a 300zx since they are swappable, but some slight trimming is involved.
