Default Whiteline Bushings - Someone must have them in stock?!!

All i want is the KDT911 kit, the rear diff bushings.

No one has any left, they've been on back order since February!! and some people are giving 3-4 month lead times!!


My rear bushing is blown now, not in 4 months


I will order now if someone can get them in the next few weeks!

Because they're solid and I don't want solid, its my DD and if I could buy the OEM I would (then add a diff brace)

I see. I have them on my DD and haven't noticed much of a difference.

Why not go with your plan B anyway those should be readily available.

If you are looking to decrease wheel hop most people recommend solid bushings before a diff brace.

That's good you don't notice much, but too many people have confirmed there is an increase in nvh.

I don't need better than stock, plan B doesn't exist, its 600 bucks for the subframe with the bushing in it, not sold separately

Brace was only to stop the oem bush popping.

Lol diff brace and urethane bushing will create the same nvh as solid bushing anyway.....think about that one.

The OEM bushing is not urethane. But that's all beside the point, that route/option is prohibitively expensive.

So whiteline it is.

If you can't find the whitelines, get the energy suspension bushings. I have them and they are great. I think Z1 motorsports has them in stock.

Yes, a few places have them in stock, but i'm not looking for their kit quality, and i don't think that i will have the required inner sleeve to re-use (required on the ES) due to the way i'm removing the stock unit.

I don't have a problem finding places that sell them, but thank you. I have a problem in that every single place i call, including the ones that say it's in stock and ships in 24 hours, all suddenly say, oh, it's been on back order since feb and won't be in stock for another 3-4 months

Sorry to hear that you are not having any luck. I had Energy installed (front) a little over a week ago at Z1, FWIW.

Thanks guys, order placed.

Now you only have 9 packs in stock


Seriously though, if anyone else wants this kit, Z1 appear to be the only people who actually have them in stock. I called about 12 places across the country yesterday, all out with a 3-4 month lead time.

Still think you should have gone Spl solid alum. I was highly disappointed with the whiteline bushings I purchased and resold them to buy Energy Suspension.

My in cabin noise only went up when I installed the subframe bushings. The oem subframe bushings are so soft a solid diff mount's vibrations doesnt really transmit.

Would you mind elaborating a little more on the details of your disappointment, Ian?


I was thinking in the future about possible subframe bushings.
