I'm currently in the process of installing bushings and a new suspension on my car. I took the subframe to a shop to get the old bushings burned out and solid ones put in. When they burned out the ones for the differential I forgot to tell them that I needed to keep the inner metal cup that was inside the bushings. I can't seem to find a diagram or anything to help me out. If some one can give me a part number or a link to a website that would be greatly appreciated.

Also in the directions for the diff bushing install they call what I'm looking for the inner metal cup.

Does no one have any idea. I have looked at Courtesy Nissan and can't find anything. The only thing that I can think of to fix it is to get solid bushings for the differential but I really don't want to do that.

Strange because S14 differential bushings pop out by slight force. Or are you talking about the ones on the subframe?

Well what I'm needing is the ones for the diff. I wasn't sure how hard it would be to get them out so I just had the shop take care of them when they did everything else.

Do you know of any place I can get this besides a junk yard?

Yeah they do just literally just fall out with a slight push. I use a S14 diff case and I got a solid set for SPL and a new OEM set from courtesy Nissan.

They are one this page

The ones I'm looking for go in the subframe for the diff. The only ones that I see in the diagram are for the front. The nut code that is located in the area i'm talking about is this 55010B.
How do you like the solid bushings for the diff?

Looks like the part you need. Shame your not local my buddy has a S14 subframe laying around. As for me I'm not going to use the solids I dont like the fit, I actually just ordered the set above. I only need the first half of the set

Do you think he would just sell me the inner cup out of the bushings? That is all I really need.
