There's a possibility I can get it replaced under warranty, but I'd rather just buy the upgraded bushing and install it myself for $100.
My wife two days ago: you spend too much money already. Get it done under warranty.
Me two days ago: fine... whatever

My wife today after I called her with the no warranty coverage news: how much does your aftermarket part cost, $200?
Me today: no, $98 shipped.
My wife today: and you can do the work yourself?
Me today: well, I'm not paying someone $1000 to install a $100 part, but yes I can do it myself.
My wife today: well just get what you need.
Me today: thanks babe.

dat sucks... they shouldve gotten back to you MUCH sooner.

a day without a car is inconvenient enough. did they at least give you a loaner?

yah, i guess fate is telling you something... whiteline bushings and you doing the work

I just spoke with the very nearby Z shop (Z Clinic) and he's got a special tool for removing and installing that differential bushing. Almost no suspension parts have to be removed - just the differential. It's 2.7 hours of labor instead of 8-9 hours, so it'll only run $270

sounds good. if they can do it for you, why not? they got the tools already

im definitely not doing that work on my own. i can probably do it, but just not worth my time and energy.

Honestly, they should have been able to tell me over the phone that it wouldn't be covered. Idiots. It's called a cross member bushing in Nissan's system, so they don't even relate it to the differential. Oh well, the guy was extremely polite and helpful at least. I spent too much time conversing with him about the part until we looked at it in the FSM, so I didn't have time to bug the sales people about their half-a$$ed 2015 Nismos

like fixing a hole in the roof.

i can probably do it, but i will probably roll off the roof as well.
