so my diff bushing is shot~ i need a new one and it seems like my only option is the SPL solid diff bushing.

cost an arm and a leg for parts and install.

but the thing is i couldnt even really tell my bushing was gone until i lifted the car and saw the leaking marks.

so i was thinking if i should just leave it alone?

or maybe get a diff brace??

thanks

 

Replace it.
A brace will just be a bandaid
Energy suspension and whiteline sell poly bushings for the diff

 

i just installed the energy solid poly bushing.

its probably best to do all three ..i was dumb enough to only replace the rear bushing and the differential was still making a clunking noise so i had to buy the whole kit including the rear bushing which i already installed ......i installed the front two bushings on the diff and the noise was all gone ..my advice do all three bushings at the same time it will save you having to drop the diff twice.

 

cant find much info about these energy solid poly bushing?

better spl? more daily drive suited since they are poly??

where did you guys purchase these?

 

energy suspension diff bushing 350z insert into GOOGLE , see what happens.

 

alright got some info. these are pretty cheap.

so everyone recommend these for a daily driver 350z over the spl?

chime in please!

thanks

 

got mine from z1 only thing about the bushings is since they are solid you will hear more noise in the cabin but i dont mind, it doesnt bother me but some people dont like the extra noise

 

Any poly bushing is "solid" poly....no silicone inside like oem.

Fyi: Typically the term "solid", when talking about bushings, is used when talking about solid metal bushings

This guy only has two options: solid metal or poly....

If you want a soft poly, go with whiteline (closest you can get to oem)

If you want something firm, but not too much noise, go with energy suspension

If you want the best performance possible, get solid bushings (exp: spl, sikky, ams)

 

poor word choice on my part, my mistake.....i chose the energy and love them

 

Poly is still considered a soft bushings, even Delrin is considered a soft bushing. Solid is for metal.

 

Anyone sell a delrin bushing?

 

I'm sure you can get AM Performance to make you one, JasonZYA may be able to do it too.

 

AMS motorsports also sells the diff bushings. i ordered mine.

 

Hi,

we have alerts in place to help answer any technical enquiries in forums and seen that you are looking for diff bushing solutions.

We now have released a synthetic elastomer bushing solution for the 350z with voiding so the bushing is not as solid as some other alternatives. See the picture below or click this link to view the release document.
