The Best Guide on How To Replace Subframe Bushings on A Nissan 300zx!!

After having this Z32 chassis for a few years now and it overall being 30 years old, things tend to fail and need replacing. Well this nissan 300zx needed its Rear subframe bushings swapped out. So I ordered some energy suspension bushings to complete the job! This how to video is simply for the people what wrench on their cars alone and with minimal tools.

Probably the best subframe bushing removal and replacement video I've seen! Great content buddy. Thanks for taking the extra time to make sure everyone can see what you are doing. I'm currently knee deep in a clutch replacement +++ it's been a great having your video to help me walk through the whole process. Keep it up!

Love the support and thank you! Keep up the good work and good luck with the build!

Great info!! Thank you for all your work putting these vids together. Ive tried it before and its very time consuming! 😂 your effort is much appreciated

Great vid. One note, youre NOT supposed to take the sleeves out on energy suspension bushings. You reuse them and push the new rubber into those sleeves. You burn them out and reuse the sleeves. Edit: ​​⁠i looked into this, newer energy suspension kits are smaller so you do not have to remove sleeves. New instructions reflect this. So for other ppl wondering, follow instructions. If it says do not remove, do not remove and vice versa.

Haven't had an issue yet, and still needed to use a rubber mallet to press them in

[@baltdublive]

I need to do this to get my gas tank out, so, I figured it is an opportune time to replace the bushings, thank you for the vid, I’ll probably watch it 10 times 👍

Just finished doing this exact thing, such a pain. Took me a few days to knock this out!

[@CJdriftZ]

This also applies to the 350z and 370z. Good time to go ahead and do this!

Super helpful video. Hopefully I won’t need to do this any time soon!

[@sauhaw534]

great video how similar is the removal process on a 2+0?

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Pretty much the same thing!

Let us know if you like the polys once you get some seat time. Just put some Z1 solid bushings and haven't had a chance to test them out yet. They were a pain in the ass to install.

[@jaredjed11]

Hey man ive watched your video a few times , did subframe on my s13 with solid bushings but i got the same bushings you got and was wondering about burning it out the install instructions i read for energy says to reuse a metal sleeve and im confused lol

[@ZBruhzchannel]

@jaredjed11 hey I've had many different opinions on the matter. From what I read many years back I needed to cut the sleeves out. Some others recently said you don't need to. When I did mine it took a bit of pressure to get the bushings in (they didn't just slide into the subframe easily). Its been a few years now and the car and subframe is totally fine with cutting the sleeves out.

How do you know all of this? I think we'd love a historical video! Very cool video!

[@mosswine5417]

I hated replacing the bushings for the differential. I didn’t want to drop the subframe so I ended up pressing it out by finding something like a socket of the same size and pushed it out by ratcheting the shit out of it. I put one wrench to hold it in place, and used another wrench to press it out. And then I burned the rubber off the bushings lol.

[@171JUSTIN]

Made a huge difference on my z, but I'm not happy with the energy suspension diff bushings. I think it made my diff sit at an angle so when I put the bolt back in on the diff brace it stripped that nut that's inside the subframe. I did end up getting a new subframe that had good bushings for the diff but when I replace them I will use whiteline

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Aww, sorry to hear that! Hopefully the next Ines treatment you better!

[@Ajhowardz32]

If you feel like speeding up the prices if you get a 15$ set of drill bits and drill out the rubber it takes about 3 minutes instead of burning them out much quicker!

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Yea I didn't buy a new set and didn't want to ruin my set haha. That goop gets everywhere

Nice z bro you're getting better work on Z32 by yourself. I'm also polishing my skills. Thanks for sharing using petroleum jelly. also works great to bleed the brakes. when doing it yourself when using a vacuum pump. Wish we can chill one day I know you're from Massachusetts and I'm from New York we're not that far away maybe we can meet up in the middle somewhere in Connecticut. Do you have a Instagram?
