Wahoo! I just ordered the urethane bushings kit as well as some other goodies for the old suspension in the Z31 😉 .[http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product\_Code=23-4100ZX&Category\_Code=PSDC06A](http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=23-4100ZX&Category_Code=PSDC06A) Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the long waited FMIC! 😃 I’ll throw up some pics some time this month when this stuff gets in.

Bushings? I’ll show you bushings! 😛

What you see pictured are (for my Z32):  
Front lower control arm bushings  
Rear lower control arm bushings  
rear lower shock mount bushings  
rear upper control arm bushings  
diff carrier bushings  
solid aluminum subframe bushings

And not pictured:  
Steering Rack bushings  
sway bar bushings (already done w/ my sway bar upgrade last year).

I’ve got everything installed so far except the steering rack bushings and the front lower control arm bushings. I’m just debating whether to paint the arms or not.

All the polyurethane bushings are made by Energy Suspension.  
But I did not buy the “Master Kit”. The master kit was not worth it to me for the following reasons:

- didn’t need the tension rod bushings because I upgraded to adj. tension rods (which use spherical bearings) quite a while ago.
- didn’t need the sway bar bushings because sway bar upgrade kits (like Suspension Techniques) already come with polyurethane bushings.
- didn’t want the polyurethane subframe bushings, as I wasn’t convinced they will truely cure wheel hop.

I ended up buying the following smaller kits separately:

- steering rack bushings (actually bought these last year but didn’t get around to installing).
- front lower control arm bushings
- diff carrier bushing set  
And in addition:
- rear control arm set, which includes the rear upper and lower arms, and lower shock mounts. (these bushings are NOT included in the master set). It is brand new kit, just released a few months ago.

For me the master set would’ve just been wasted money.

The aluminum subframe bushings were designed by a company in New Zealand and distributed in Texas by a small company called 300 degree that just makes Z32 parts.

I see your point. For me it’ll work out great! The other part I ordered for my suspension upgrades was the Suspension Techniques springs so next summer she’ll be a nice tight ride. 😉

I hope you have a press or a vice d00d, because trust me, you’ll need one.

Thanx for the heads up! Although owning a shop with the majority of the tools kinda helps sometimes 😉
