When are you putting those split bushings in? I'd like to know as I want to be there and watch you do it. (so I know EXACTLY the kind of BS I'll be dealing with on mine!)

I might even be nice and lend a hand while I'm there. Depends on how comfortable my chair is and how good my beer will be.

i just ordered the OEM nuts and bolts from the dealer and they should be here by friday. $30 just for the freakin nuts and bolts, i should have priced them at a nissan dealer instead of infiniti!!!

One more thing: at least with the stock bushings, the suspension needs to beloaded when you torque the bolts. Doing it RIGHT: full tank, a buddy your sizein the driver's seat, floor jack under the diff, spare tire in place.. I didn't havea handy buddy, so I put one of the rear tires in the back left. Maybe both rear tires would be better.

Now, if the split bushings let everything pivot, and I suspect they might, that'snot necessary.

Let us know how the ride changes. I put solid delrin bushings in my 240-Z, front and rear, and you felt the little bumps more.

How you gonna get the old bushings out?

Yeah, our local shops are pure stealerships. Mossy wanted $126 PER sway bar link! Friggin highway robbery, straight up!

Did you look online at courtesyparts.com? That's where I'll probably find them.

So are you thinking Sat then?
