I was about to change the diff fluid from my 2way when I noticed the rear z32 uprights were hitting the rear struts.

On the drivers side the strut was actually resting on the upright!!!

Another problem I have^^^

So does anybody have spherical bushings for the z32 shock mount on their S14? Did it correct this problem?

I still have my old stock uprights laying around but I would rather not have to go through the hassle of swapping everything and getting new rear mounts.

Either way I have to do something soon.... Im afraid I am going to break something

I WILL BE REMOVING MY Z32 UPRIGHTS AND REPLACING THEM WITH THE STOCK UPRIGHTS DUE TO THE BINDING ISSUES. TO ANYONE THINKING OF INSTALLING Z32 UPRIGHTS ON THEIR S14 I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SHOCK MOUNT CUT AND WELDED CORRECTLY.
