Rear S14 Sub-frame bushings

[Amdious]

This is a pretty low level question, but I'm just writing to see if anyone here has had this prob happen to them as well. &nbsp;I took my car to get a new clutch and now that my car actually grips to the gears, I found another prob with my car. &nbsp;The hard rubber bushing that's next to the front sub-frame bushing &nbsp;for the rear axle is missing. &nbsp;Kinda annoying considering that this is leading to my car popping into gears if I use too much torque. &nbsp;You can find these bushings on BMWs or Mercedes, etc... but wrong size and other stuff. &nbsp;The worst case scenario is buying a whole new subframe for the $5 part. &nbsp;Total cost of the subframe is $731 canadian. &nbsp;If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it. &nbsp;Otherwise I just plan on wearing out the POS subframe and just shell out for a new one when it falls off <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I just ordered the 18-21 set earlier today......hopefully those are the ones that are shot. I bought the car last thursday and some bushings in the rear are worn-out but I don't know which ones without dropping the rear end.

Anyhow, to finish things off, looks like getting the bushing set from Nismo is the way to go. &nbsp;It looks like I'm gonna need the 16/17 set, but i'm not sure. &nbsp;When you and counterfeit do put the bushings in please let me know if it works cause then i'm gonna have to save some major cash cause my warranty's up. &nbsp;According to HippoSleek, the labour is not cheap (1000-1300) and i can soo not afford that especially after putting in a new clutch. &nbsp;Looks like in the end, my mechanic was full of $h!t. &nbsp; It's so damn hard to find trustworthy mechs that actually know their stuff. &nbsp;got one guy in parts at a nissan dealership that actually tries, but that's about it. &nbsp; but thanks again and plz keep me posted.

oops... almost forgot... thanks again HippoSleek. &nbsp;All that info made life sooo much better.

on a side note, i'm probably gonna say screw it and go all the way and buy most of the bushings... i figure if i'm paying that much in labour, i mine as well get everything done.

Thanks again

Actually, I believe the whole job (w/ P&L is about $1000-1300). &nbsp;I think Campain (odd, I don't know his name) and Irena would be able to give you the exact amount. &nbsp;I'd check with a local shop and confirm that (i.e., don't trust me &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> &nbsp;over your local shop).

I plan on installing mine with a couple of friends, I will not know if I even ordered the right set until I get under the car &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/butbut.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':but:'> . I will let everyone know what I find. I though they would come in today but I haven't been home yet to see.
