Sedan ones go to a new part number... I cant tell you when they switched...
Coupe ones from 03 go to a new part number which is the same as what is in the 04 and up...
07 coupe has its own part number...

 

Jason- If you can confirm either by visual inspection, or from other Infiniti sources that they have modified/improved the Compression Rod parts to solve the squeaky creaky bushings, you would probably get a lot of business ordering them from folks on here!!

 

well, if I order one, I only get the new ones... I do have them instock...

I dont have any good old ones here to compare...

but I am pretty sure that the bushings have been improved... the one I have I cant even budge...

 

Jason, do you think you can post pics of the new part? Especially a close up of the bushings? Also how much would a pair cost from you guys?

 

What is the technical diff inbetween new (good) and old (squeaky). Does squeaky = bad as in worn?

 

yeah give me a few mins...

if the bushing tears, it will be squeaky and clunky...

 

Are the part numbers in the catalogue yet? I tried searching for what I'm pretty sure was the correct part number but couldn't come up with anything. Can you please pm me the part number and the price for the passenger side compression rod on an 03 Sedan.

 

the part numbers that are inputed into the online catalog are not up to date... the correct part numbers are in a service file...

 

yes mine were torn when replaced. loud and creaky when turning into/out of parking lots/curb cutouts

 

ok... here we go...

Thanks for the awesome pics Jason. So what it looks like to me is that there is more volume of bushing on the new rods which means less gaps that allow movement and potential of tearing. Is that correct?

 

That is what I am thinking... Next time a car comes in with the older rods I will take a look... I remember seeing them torn on newer Z's and G's when they were only 20K miles old! They used to be a large more motormount looking bushing if I remember correctly...

 

jason, mine were torn @ 12k. the techs working on my car told me this was not uncommon.

 

Not cool at all...

do you have the new ones on? how are they now?
