Default polyurethane differential bushings??

Was wondering if I were to replace my stock bushing with polyurethane differential bushings, if they'll hold up or if I should go with the solid type. The mech said since I don't race, etc, solids will be overkill and possibly dangerous for the pumpkin, that the poly will be plenty, and also mgh cheaper to replace.

What are your thoughts?

Get the Whiteline version, you will be fine. Solids are great, but the Whiteline poly is also good. Just do t bother with the Energy Suspension version, it likes to fail.

I have the whiteline PU kit and I like it. Shifting felt a lot better versus the soft OEM one.

Cool, thanks. Ill look into the Whiteline PU. Do I have to replace the while set or can I just have them replace the diff only?

It's only a differential kit. Includes the main bushing for the rear and the two bushings to hold the diff up. It wasn't hard to install, bit getting the old one out was ridiculously hard for me. Some have had better luck.I ended up drilling, cutting, torching, smacking it to get it out.

The picture shows 5 bushings. One should be rear diff bushing, and two other for rear bushing. Are the other two front bushing. The weird thing is that it says only rear diff bushing but pic is different. What gives?

The other 4 are for the diff mounting ears. 2 per ear. Screw amazon , call Nissan Race Shop and talk to Scott , he takes care of the Nissan community , amazon does not. Scott has great customer support for this product , amazon does not.
