whiteline diff bushing gear noise

instroke · 03-28-2016, 02:44 PM

Ok so got my Whiteline bushings, installed, thick on top thin on the bottom. .. and G37 guys are correct, very similar to stock. And the rear is more planted...that Factory stock rear bushing was a nightmare to get out.

I can confirm that it makes a big difference on how you install the bushings. I installed them by the install instructions and got a whine at 20, 40 and 60... So I researched and came across this post... So I reversed the install... And all the noise is gone.... My car is back to normal... I know this is an old post... Just an FYI

So reading this I am just waitgoing no till the day my oem one blows out since I know they all do. Has anyone ran just the rear Whiteline and keep the Oem front? Since it's only the rear that fails it would be a nice halfway setup.

If you go through the trouble of removing the differential... I would just go ahead and replace all the bushings. Looking at my front bushings, I did see where they where starting to tear.. My Z is not a daily and I do track it... 1/8 and 1/4 mostly... I can imagine a daily that is also tracked would be in worse conditions... So I would just go ahead and replace them.. You won't regret it..
