1) How many of you have had trouble with your 350's Subframe Insulators??
2) Have you had the Rear Subframe and/or Insulators replaced??
3) Were the Insulators leaking??
4) Was there more than normal compliance/movement??
5) Was the toe out excessively quickly after an alignment every time??

If so please list:
A) year
B) manual or tiptronic
C) kms/miles
D) weather modded or not
E) any other pertinent information.

There are plenty of posts on this subforum which might suggest there would be quiet a number who've had similar problems with their 350z's.

**Useful posts only please, any silly posts I will ask for those to be removed.

I participate in a lot of amatuer events, whether it be autocrosss, drifting, drag racing or just sprited backroad driving. I've been very pleased with the performance of the bushings in my rear subframe. I've never had a problem with alignments. It looks like Nissan put some really thick rubber insulators back there. Yashio Factory is the only company I know that makes spacers, but I don't think I will need them.

 

Thank you for your reply Lawn Dart. As stated I'd like to hear from people who have had problems as listed in my first post. Good luck to you and long may your 350 stay 100% mechanically fit.

6. Does the thrust angle change dramatically every alignment??
