Colin747 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 So excuse the staggering ignorance in the following post but when I was in getting my 350 aligned the bolts were seized. I'm planning on replacing these but wanted to upgrade my bushes while I am at it. Now my question is what bushes would be the best to upgrade in terms of "feeling" the difference when driving? As much as I want to go and buy this I'd shudder at the cost of labor, never mind the cost of the kit itself. https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/bushes/864-350z-prothane-total-suspension-kit-14-200714-2007-bl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Very possibly will get all different answers, however il go first. Diff poly bush, steering rack bushes and ARB bushes. Assuming you have no worn out OE bushes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin747 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Cheers, my worry would be that there's worn out OE bushes about (100k miles, 2003). How many hours labor do you think would be in fitting the full kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If the suspension doesn't knock, nor does the vehicle fail MOT for worn bushes I wouldn't worry too much. No idea regarding labour for the lot mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Bushings The only other one I'd add to that list is compression arm bushings if yours is for typical daily driving. Poly bushings in certain places bind and release, thus slow down response time (especially in steering feel). Used in the right places they're great. Ooh and just a tip, Whiteline tend to be softer than others. Edited May 10, 2017 by RobPhoboS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin747 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Thanks, yea I forgot to mention it's for daily driving with the odd track day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
