Z33 350z/ G35 Solid Aluminium Steering Rack Bushings

First thing I notice when I put on these bushings, is that my front subframe is bent. :) I had to do a little work to get the rack with its new bushings to line up because of the tweak in the subframe. Otherwise, installation was easy. Only 1 of the pieces needed pressed in, and the other 3 slid in perfectly. Well machined and fits great!

So, I bought these not for a z33/g35, but for my y34 (2003-04 Infiniti m45). The round bushings press in and fit perfectly, the half moon ones that go on the passenger side are slightly too small in diameter, but some persuasion with a deadblow, and was able to “customize” them to fit nicely. Def a massive
Improvement over the mushy oem bushings with 160k miles on em, and very easy to install! My old bushings pressed out with a deadblow and a 17mm impact socket they were so mushy. I used a deadblow to press the new ones in, with a block of wood supporting the other side. (Use emery cloth and then neverseize on the bore before installing the new bushings)

I don't recommend this install as a singular job--do this when you're working on the whole front suspension. I had the front subframe out and the steering rack tied up so it was an easy install. I would never do this otherwise, it's just too mess dealing with the LCA, the exhaust, the engine brace, etc, etc. But, if you're already in the middle of a job, then add this to the project!

Very easy install. Great quality.

Simple to install and provides better feedback to the steering wheel. 10/10 recommend!
