G35 Compression Rods are Total Crap
#109
Heard it's a typical thing that dealerships do to avoid the cost of a brand new rod, however not all delerships have a "special machine" that can take out and put in a new rubber bushings......
saying this I am not under warranty and had to buy $150 full compression rod from Riverside and got it installed locally........ suffice to say my car is 100% without any "klumping" sounds now...... hope it stays this way for a while

1. Infiniti does not sell the bushings as a separate part. Maybe this has changed. Can you post the part numbers from your invoice??
2. As the other post said, removing the bushings from the rod isn't easy. If it were, then they would come out too easily when driving!

The trick with just purchasing the bushings is that you need a special hydraulic removal/inserter machine to swap them out of the aluminum rods. If your or your indy mechanic don't have this, you're at the mercy of the dealer to perform the whole job.
