Ok i have a 89 s13 and most of my bushings are dead and i need new ones.

So the stupid little star bushing on my driveshaft is about to come apart, anyone have an idea who makes one besides nissan? or if there is some solid replacement?

Does anyone make replacment sub-frame bushings? not collars or inserts or the solid ones, im looking for rubber or urethane.

definitely nismo... best IMO to run.

something tells me the price of a nismo or oem replacement for the driveshaft doughnut will be around the same price as a 1 piece driveshaft might want to look into it.

from what I'd heard alot a piece driveshift makes the car alil more louder and rougher, if it's your DD i wouldn't

I have a one-piece driveshaft an can say with certainty that it does not significantly affect any noise or vibration.

Nismo does not make a replacement driveshaft bushing. I don't see where anyone got that idea. It's a dealer part only.

All the rest of the actual bushings, IE suspension, can be sourced through Nismo or Energy Suspension.
