Strange Goo

[kermit]

hey guys. i have recently noticed a small patch of vaseline type goo on my garage floor. i didnt think anything of it as i have small children but the patch has got bigger. after some investigation i found it on the underside of my car. it is under one of the main suspension linkages ( in front of the back wheel). are any of the bushes filled with goo ? i have recently also noticed a slight clunk from the rear end and i am assuming that the two are connected.

do i have goo in my bush ? any one else with a similar problem?

the car in question is a R32 GTR. prices for replacment ? ease of fittment?

thanks guys

lol.. probably a silicone filled bush.... i know they use them for the front castor bushes... don't know if they use them anywhere else though?

lol,

"i didnt think anything of it as i have small children "

thats how "small children" are made (goo in bush )

most likely one of your front castor rod bushes (liquid filled) is cracked... standard items are cheap enough to replace.. and on a r32 i'd be looking at the condition of all your suspension components due to age, weat n tear.

if it's the castor rod bushes, i'd recommend some aftermarket pillowball items.. but some people on this site will disagree and say use whiteline offset bushes instead

It's hard to get your mind out of the gutter reading this thread :lol:

yep

it's acid. your car has an alien hiding in the chassis.

sounds like a split bush. if it's near the back it could be the cradle bushes, hopefully not; i understand the cradle needs to be removed to replace them but i've never tried it. noltec make solid bushes for the cradle.

'...are you a female...' :lol:

two front subframe bushes are filled with silicon, rear two (up by spare wheel well are solid). expensive to replace if you pay someone else, looking at 10 hours labour + parts.

I uploaded a how to on this a while ago, dont know if it ever got into the tutorials tho.

I did it myself, only getting help when I was refitting the subframe back to the vertical bolts. It is a Tricky job but not impossible if you think it through and are careful.

i hope to do the subframe bush replacement soon. How did you get the old ones out, and new ones in gts4diehard?
