Damn man!!!! Sorry you going through my mission too!!! It’s so frustrating especially not being able to move around ugh. I’m still waiting for a guy a eBay the item says it fit up to 07 but when putting my year and model then says it doesn’t I was like huh???

Well I got my brother's G37 back together and running today. I had to use Whiteline's bushing calculator online to get one that had the same OD and ID. The length was a bit short so I had to shim it.

The poly bushings were expensive, $70 for a pair! Beats buying new control arms though.
