I've noticed some weird handling recently, so I decided to look into my rear suspension bushings. The right rear wheel has a noticeable amount of camber compliance just from pressing on the tire with my hands. I've linked to two videos of the trailing arm bushing and the lower ball joint. I've figured I might as well do new ball joints and bushings in the rear, cause it probably can't hurt, but I'm not sure about the trailing arm connecting rod. I want to use the stock bushing instead of installing a toe eliminator kit since I still have 4WS. The p/n from CAPS is MB515194, but I'm having a hard time finding this online. JNZ has this on their OEM parts catalog, but I haven't had a chance to check with them. I also found the p/n for the 2g 3000GT to be MB911699. Does anybody know if this is a suitable replacement? I can find this on JNZ's website along with a few other parts websites online.
If you watch the first video, you'll probably notice the subframe bushing is pretty shot too. Is there any way to replace these without completely dropping the subframe? I'd prefer to not have to undo the 4WS lines right now.
