Bushes,Chassis mountings, Subframe mountings

At the moment every time i hit a bump on the road she breaks my kneck and she seems to crash into any potholes on our f#%k*d up roads here in Auckland NZ ( New Zealand ).

I own a 1990 300zx auto 2-seat pearl white fairlady and the driving is loose and the tranny feels like its only giving me half power or sumthing. Shes done 150k+ but the recent owner just had 7.5k of work done on her like all new belts, engine mounts, 4 new tyres, 2.5k pearl paint job, new front shocks only, and sum other little improvements anyway from the outside she looks awesome!!!!!!!! the engine is fine no worries there.. but the handling, driving and transmission is gone or not far away from it.

Could anyone who knows and has experienced these problems please give me sum advice on what i should look at, fix, replace etc regarding swaying,looseness, in driving I think the chassis mountings r gone r these expensive to fix ??? .. and new shocks and springs , bushes etc ??? so i can tighten her up and she can handle the bumps on our warzone like roads here in NZ..

Che Che ( cheers )

Link Page.

Several retailers sell suspension solutions. If replacing bushings is what you're after then a master bushing set may be what you need. Look towards splparts.com or courtesyparts or sgpracing. those three should also carry the subframe bushings that you seek. Replacing those should lose that swaying/vague feeling from the rearend.

You said that the previous owner replaced the front shocks. How about the springs too? Did you replace the rear shocks and springs yet?
