veeg33 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Had my gearbox and diff oil changed this morning by my local garage. The owner has kindly lifted up my car when I went to collect it. Everything seems fine according to him except the bit on the rear diff (not sure what's the technical term) but here's a pic He's not sure if there is a cover on it or not. So decided ask around. He says it's leaking so best to keep an eye on it. Is this common and what can i do to get it sorted out? Quote
StevoD Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 i might be wrong but that bit of metal the hole on looks like a sub frame not the diff? Quote
veeg33 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 After some research and asking around, apparently it's a rubber bush filled with 'oil'. I'll still be OK if this is deteriorate apparently. but knowing it's not 100% in good condition, I'm thinking of getting it sorted out . Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 As you have found out just the bush weeping, can continue to do that for a good while without causing issue. Nissan won't sell you the bush but Whiteline do a replacement kit which we stock 1 Quote

Been spending a little too much on the car :o BTW, as mentioned above, I had changed my gearbox and diff oil today. I can feel the difference it made, much smoother gear change and it feels like cutting through butter. 😂 Thanks! 1 Quote
