Is there an exhaustive list of bushings on the 370Z somewhere?

Also any reccomendations on going solid, polyurethane, or oem on them? Current plan is to go with slightly stiffer, longer lasting bushings; provided they aren't ridiculously overpriced. And also any reccomendations on where to buy them?

Thanks a bunch! Having the steering rack and bushings checked out Monday by a mechanic to tell my whats needed. But from there I think I'll try to replace the bushings and everything myself.

After a lot of searching, SuperPro has the best coverage with these cars for urethane bushings on every point of articulation. They even offer some in offset configurations to play around with caster and camber a bit. They’re an Australian company and don’t source from China.

SPL seems to be the hot **** if you’ve got more to spend and don’t mind a completely solid connection to the road. Their stuff is all ‘Murican made if that’s a plus to you.

I remember an issue coming up that the steering rack bushing was hard to find

This company has some:

For solid bushings, SPL has you otherwise covered

Alternatively, as mentioned above, super pro is good. They do stuff for a lotta cars

Whiteline and energy suspension make urethane options. Z1 carries them.

If you are unaware, Metal will increase road noise and feel, so your taste may vary. Plastic will be more “livable”
