My rear differential bushing is busted and leaking. Infiniti will only replace it with the entire rear subframe (not just the bushing) $1200+

Out of warranty and not covered by a third party extended warranty I have.

I plan to go the whiteline differential bushing route, anyone ever had this done at a shop somewhere in Southern California? I read the DIY but it's pretty intense, time consuming, and need a good amount of tools.

Found a shop and made an appointment, I will report back how it went once it's done... a couple of weeks out.

They quoted me $400 labor, $100 for the bushings and I can either bring my own diff fluid or use what they have at the shop.

Not a bad price at all, I looked at that shop as well when I wanted to change out my diff bushing as well. I went with Specialty Z, however I do hear good things about project import. Good luck and let us know how it goes for yah

Why is it not covered? Are suspension components excluded?

Yes, my Carmax warranty would not cover it. Infiniti of Escondido called and attempted to file a claim with the warranty provider and it was not an item covered.

It's covered under factory warranty but to me replacing the whole subframe is not worth it...replacing the bushings is the way to go as the stock bushing while go out again..

Got the bushings replaced 2 weeks ago, there was also a 350Z in there getting the same job done. Came out to $500-550 with the diff fluid+tax I believe.
