Differential bushing

I'm at the dealership now and the manager is being a douche, they may not replace it under warranty due to neglect or abuse.

yeah unfortunately they can **** you with this "abuse" angle if they want. doesn't matter that its a sports car, they are meant to be driven hard according to nissan. who designs a subframe with a non-serviceable weakass diff bushing anyway?

All right I just got back from the dealership. They will be replacing the whole sub frame under warranty but there is a catch. If it breaks again they will probably not replace it and file it under abuse. If I decide to give them my aluminum bushings that I have they will install them but that will automatically void my warranty on that part as well as power trans. which I don't know why it would. I don't want to push the issue b/c they are doing under warranty and they do know all the parts I have. Has anybody installed these SPL aluminum bushings made for the 370z on our cars? I tempted to just say screw it b/c well they won't fix it if it breaks again anyway.

i wouldn't run a solid diff bushing in a street car, but thats just my opinion. They do seem to want to void your warranty if you run it though, I'd have them replace the sub frame. When it breaks again take it to a shop and have them install the whiteline bushing which will be out by then.
