    Hi all
    I have a strange liquid/ lubricant on the rear diff craddle mounts.
    It is identical on both side, it's not power steering fluid. It is much thicker and sticky.is there something in the bushes. But what I don't get is they are both in the identical spots. Dripping of the mount bolts. Seems to even be to thick for diff oil. Not sure if the weather has anything to do will the leaking but it was 45 degrees Celsius here yesterday.

    Just from what you describing... Maybe someone put some grease in the bushes and it has soften up on the temperature so it drips?

    The subframe bushings are liquid filled. Time to replace them.

    Anyone tried these Whiteline bushes.

    Whitelines blurb claims to of developed a material that "offer strength and durability, geometry retention and memory without the ride harshness".

    Nissan doesnt sell the carrier to subframe (4) bushes or the rear diff mount bushes they were only available in a complete subframe, TT discontinued, NA $525.46 USD about $1000 AUD landed.

    Nismo doesn't seem to have a carrier bush set available, well on CZP anyway, and I have heard Energy Suspension can be almost like solid bushes that are great for competition but transmit vibration into the cabin.

    I guess it would be worth doing front and rear difff mount bushes while you are at it.

    A bit of a spread on diff to carrier bush set prices. :eek:

    Nismo $260 USD
    Whitline $134.64 USD
    Energy Suspension $24.95
