You're over thinking it. It's an easy job, that even a mom & pop shop could do for a couple hundred + part (~$50-$150)

+1, any decent mechanic should be able to do it and not break your bank. Its not "easy", but its not terribly difficult either. Getting the old bushing out can be a B%$&_

This problem is one of the things rear dif braces help prevent BTW

I appreciate you all chiming in. If my warranty covers it ($100 deductible) I will just let them replace the whole thing. If not, I will go with whichever bushing you guys think will LAST the longest. I am planning on driving my wonderful G35 for a long time.

I had the same issue. My rear bushing was completely gone and dry.

I replaced the bushings with SPL solid diff bushings. Fixed the problem and never looked back. It also made the rear end feel more planted.

Any decent mechanic can do the job as long as they have a press.
