How do tell if a G35 coupe has rear active steering?

I have a 06 G35 coupe. I was wondering how can you tell if it has rear active steering? I have a damaged control arm on the rear suspension and need to replace it. I need to know if I have rear active steering or not.

Thanks

Look under the rear suspension of the car where the lower spring perch arms attach to the body. Do they attach to a steering rack-looking thing? Then you have RAS.

when you turn the the key to power, look at the guage cluster and you will see RAS

the RAS light goes off when your engine is on

No RAS for you.

Note that his name says 6mt2005, but he stated that he has a 2006 in the first post.
