Whiteline Essentials Bushing Kit Now Available

Man, I wish this was available a few months ago! I've replaced all of these and this kit would've saved me a few bucks. Even with SPC upper control arms, this kit is still priced cheaper than diff, both lower arm bushings, & compression arm bushings combined.

To quote the press release:

WHITELINE introduces the exciting release of its Nissan 350Z/G35 ESSENTIALS BUSHING KIT. The team at WHITELINE has identified the most problematic components that are most commonly upgraded and packaged them into on convenient kit. By targeting high failure rate items and bang for your buck enhancements upgrades, WHITELINE delivers significant value by upgrading overall vehicle performance while eliminating waste from full vehicle kits that are rarely installed in entirety.
WEK003 Vehicle Essentials Kit (MSRP $299.90) $414.50 value if purchased separately.

Part no. WEK003 Includes:

· KDT911 Rear Diff Bushing
· W52988 Fr Upper Control Arm Inner
· W52991 Fr Lower Control Arm Inner
· W52992 Fr Lower Control Arm Shock
· W83389 Fr Compression Rod




Pretty much every bushing that commonly breaks on our cars is available in a kit. Took them long enough! The vendor I ordered the individual bushings from over the past year has this kit priced at $269

There is only one bushing in the compression rod. Look up the individual part numbers for verification of what's included. In a nutshell, this includes ALL front arm bushings plus the rear differential bushings. These are the most common ones that blow out on our cars.


The picture shows everything. Since I've had to replace all of those over the last year I recognize them. Clockwise from top left: 2x Compression Rod, Rear Diff, 2x Rear Diff Ears, 4x front upper control arms (ie camber arms), 2x lower control arms inner, 2x shock to lower control arms, 4x washers for compression rod bushings.

I guess the only difference is that my diff bushings are yellow, everything else looks the same.

Nothing for the ball joint available - you would have to drill it out and find a similar replacement for a diff vehicle to fit. Not really a viable option.

For those interested in this kit - I highly recommend it though. Saves $$ vs buying it all separate.

I put in the front Whiteline bushings (and OEM compression rod bushings) last year and they are fantastic.

What symptoms/issues does the rear diff bushing cure?

The rear diff bushing (OEM) is a fluid filled damper. It will start to leak and will become sloppy in the rear end. The whiteline diff bushing kit stiffens it up so you don't have movement in the rear end especially during heavy acceleration.

I am in need of a kit for the 05' X. I bought compression rod bushing 54570-ac71a and had it pressed in. Clunk still there. I am going to do all the front end bushings all at once.

Could someone send me a link? Much appreciated. I've searched some of the dealers website, nothing X specific. Ive searched the internet, not sure if its universal between X and non-X.

LOVE U ALL THANKS!

DD
