And, a wheel alignment should at least tell you if there is a problem or not. It is possible what you are seeing is normal...

Just make sure they check toe, camber and caster, and give you a copy of the before and after results.

If they're OEM ones, they're fixed and not to mention probably completely flogged.

Just jack up the car securely and take off a castor rod from one side and inspect the bush.

Nissan at the time thought filling it with some form liquid was a great idea.

thought it was splash back from an engine-related leak until I dug around on forums.

And then ended up with a Nitto 3.2L stroker motor and a Samsonas sequential gearbox?

Oil? There's oil in there?

Technically a viscous fluid, heaps of OEM bushes have it. It's like a clear silicone based shit of a thing that sticks to everything.

Replace with Polyurethane 👍

...or rose joint / spherical bearing turnbuckle adjustable castor rods ☠️

The only downside that I found was less compliance/more crash in the suspension when you went over things like train tracks/potholes etc.

Something else is wrong then, I run sphericals on both R33's with no increase in NVH.

R32s are limited as to how much caster you can wind in by the upper arm bush binding problem. But adjustment is not the issue here. The issue is preventing any movement along the axis of the rod. Even poly bushes allow several mm of movement with longitudinal loads. Pushes the wheel fore and aft and affects every part of the wheel alignment in a bad way.
