Car is much more solid now...I was amazed at the amount of play in the OEM bushings. Definately a big improvement.

No. Wheel hope comes from the Diff Bushing and the suspension geometry.

Solids? How much NVA do they put into the chassis?

I know my PBM's in the 240 set the noise and vibration through the roof.

I have a 2006 350Z and recently noticed the black liquid dripping on my exhaust. Is it better to just change the bushings or completley replace the rear subframe?
