Message	Took a vacation day from work today and went to United Auto Sales for the installation of the Energy Suspension rear subframe & differential bushings My car before entering the shop 240Z Parts cars Cars waiting to be work on The rear subframe off the car Larry (Turbowrench) getting the old bushings off the subframe It is on fire! rear subframe bushings installed Old differential bushings still on Not anymore.... Differential bushings Installed Rear subframe back on the car With the bushings installed on the car, the car felt tighter, and also less noise compare with the 14 year olds stock gel filled bushings. Good investment in my car. Be warn, the Energy Suspension rear subframe & differential bushings cost was about $100, but it took a good amount of time for the install (AND it was not a easy install, a lot of time & effort went into it), so labor rate is appropriate for the length of the installation....the bushings is not a "bling-bling" mods & it does not give your car any more horsepower, BUT if you enjoy driving your car, like to have a better handling car, and if the stock bushing are leaking, the bushing replacement is a very worth-while mods. Big thanks to Larry for his amazing skill & knowledge about Z car, and Aaron & Frank for lending a helping hands on working on the Z today. See you guys/gals at the ECZA meet tomorrow!
