Hahah well atleast you dont have to worry about compressing a 370z spring again.. and it looks like you dont have to worry about the Titan for a little while too.

I figured since I shared this with Jake on FB I'd share it with everyone else. Scott, Chris and Adam will know from helping out on Scotts car tonight.

I love doing diff bushing installs because it reminds me of a mans favorite thing since it's easier to get in the hole than it is to get out.

Big thanks to Adam, Chris, Jake, Patrick for help with the energy Diff bushing install. Test drive was good, no new sounds and the butt evaluator was happy.

I dont know if this is a sign of things well done but we had a good time.

Nice work guys! I'm curious to see the outcome of the polyurethane bushing versus the solid.

Thanks,
I am happy with the way it all went together. Fits real tight, its not going anywhere. No noise and as much as you can tell it drives great also.

Haha, I noticed your trash can also before I left...looks like we drank a ton...I only had 4 of the 12 I brought for Jake.

No problem helping out for me Scott.....all the guys were there to help out. I'm glad the removal of the main bushing was a bit smoother than I've seen in the past.

I hope those urethane bushings make you slower now ! j/k

Had fun last night & as always I learn something about the Z every time I go to one of these wrench turning events.....but not as much as Jakester....he knows his shiet !
