Ok i know this might need to be in another catergory. But search isnt helping me. I need to know if the rear trailing arm assy. for a 5th gen is the same as the i30 (2000) My i30 bushings are leaking and need to be replaced. I tryed asking on the facebook page and the i30/i35 catergory on here and got no answers.

Somebody help a brutha out. Please

im not tripping on doing them i just want to know they fit before i drop everything and burn and cut them out to find out they are not the same size and im screwed. Im an infiniti mechanic and done several rear swaps just not gonna pay 800 my cost on the rear beam setup.

the bushing "leak"? never heard of such a thing but I have heard of Liquid filled bushing that usually found on some motor mounts with electrical wire. but regular bushing leak? must be some road grime or grease splatter

What is benefit of using new ones or ES if you have a RSB already?

Thankyou everyone for your help just replaced my front wheel bearings and hubs today. ordering the rear bushings as i type.

The RSB attaches only to the Rear beam and trailing arms. The bushings connect the trailing arms to the body.

So the rear will be even stiffer?
