on my dd i use a wire brush to remove surface rust, clean it off, and apply some duplicolor engine enamel black spray. thing sticks well without primer.

on all the exposed bolts and nuts you can apply a light coat of engine oil.. just use a rag and wipe on. dont spray WD40 on it cause it might get into the threads and loosen it. lol

Proved to the world that I have better brakes than a bro-truck. Now I get a new rear bumper, electronic assembly, tail lights, etc. Fun stuff!

Apparently not. The bushing is part of a cross member that is not covered under the powertrain warranty. So a <$100 part that is made of rubber and therefore prone to failure is embedded inside a $900 cross member part which costs $1600 in labor. Nice work, Nissan

On the bright side, I will be ordering the Whiteline bushing for an upgrade

DIY I guess since everyone wants $1000 minimum for labor...

The road is full of bad drivers..... sorry to hear about the accident.. I just hope the other guy doesn't say you backed into him

Ordered a set of Whiteline differential bushings. Found a Z shop nearby that will do the install for $270. He said he has a tool that just requires removal of the diff and almost no suspension parts and saves about 5 hours in labor

bring it to any reputable shop. shouldnt charge more than 4hours of labor. my local Z speciality shop said they do them in 3hours flat

edit. saw your above post after posting. good job! 270 is a totally fair price as itd take you 6-8hours to do it on jackstands/your back
