From experience:

1) There is a revised part number for the 05 rear links. I assume it is a revised part.

2) My Stillen sways did make my rear links go bad. Basically, I got a thunk from one side when I would go over uneven pavement. Once I put the new OEM links on I have had no problems.

I was running med/med when the link failed and since then I have been running med front and stiff rear.

Could never go back to OEM body roll, no matter how many end links I need to replace.

Now, get a front strut bar and see how good the handling can really be!!!

Thanks for the post.

How much did the OEM end-links cost?
How many miles were on your car when this issue accrued?

I just bought some sways and I am debating if I should replace the end-links when I put them on; my car has 60k miles on her.

I called the Infiniti in Orlando about the end links the OEM are 35 a piece for the front and 35 a piece for the rear. The front ones are the same for the 03-06 the rear are different form the 03-04 and the 05-06.

Has anyone tried the Nismo end-links? Will they work with the Stillen sways? They seem pricey, but worth a shot. They're adjustable also:

If the new stock end links I bought go bad I will defiantly look to that route.

I was looking at the Everythingg35 site, and I noticed that the front end links for the 05-07 sport suspension equipped coupes are different from the non-sport coupes. I would think you would want those instead of the non-sport ones.

Well after getting under the car I found that the 05 end links won't fit on my 04. The weird thing is I call infiniti and they said that the brackets are the same for all years. The bolts on the 05's are thicker than on the 04 so they will not go through the brackets I am totally confused on this.

Are the brackets different part numbers?

Hmmm...that doesn't make any sense then. Maybe they gave you the wrong endlinks?

When I look at the Infiniti Parts USA site, the rear links seem to have different prices and different year indications, so I can't understand what the parts guy is telling you:
