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 ? :P any one else with a similar problem?

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

thanks guys

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 acid. your car has an alien hiding in the chassis. :P

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 see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
    • I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$.  As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up.  If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you.
