So about a month ago I was driving to school in the rain as I was coming to a stop from normal street speeds my front end started shaking violently. My initial thought was my wheels were about to fall off or something, then I thought of my rotors but I just recently got them resurfaced. For a couple months my steering was pretty bad I basically had to turn the steering wheel 90 degrees before I got any actual turn from my wheels. I thought it was just old car steering since I have never driven any other Z. I thought it was just my steering rack until I came across the bushings which I had no idea about. Easy 4 bolts and $10 poly bushings. WOW. The best $10 I have ever spent on my Z. I definitely recommend to replace these bushings. Worlds of difference. I did not see many write ups on this just a youtube video so I thought I should make a post.I wish I knew how to upload pictures but the bushings I took out were non existent! Really really happy with the results as soon as I put the car back on the ground I could feel the difference. :bigthumb:

To upload pictures use a site like flickr or imgur to host them and then use the [img] tags and the picture link. Or if you're using flickr just click the share button and use the BBCode tab and copy that text.
