Worn bushes let the subframe and diff move, and you feel it in how the car drives.
Signs of worn bushes
- Clunks over bumps or on and off the throttle
- Wheel hop
- Wander, or alignment that won't hold
Solid mounts
Solid mounts locate the subframe and diff firmly, but add noise and vibration and pass more load into the chassis. How much you notice depends on the car and the kit.
NISMO R200 diff bush kit
NISMO's 55401-RS590 kit has the rear diff mount bushes, the diff mount bushes and the upper and lower stopper bushes. The bushes are pressed in; the stopper bushes are not.
After fitting
Have the alignment checked after the subframe or diff mounts are refitted.
