The factory service manual says to replace the following parts every time they are disassembled. How important is it that I do this?


- Front suspension, Top nut in the middle of the "Mounting insulator" (top of the strut assembly)

- Rear suspension, fixing bolt, on the lower arm


Are these parts reusable or not? I can order the front top nut easily, but I am having trouble finding the rear fixing bolt online.

Anyone know?


(I plan on installing my Eibach Pro kit this weekend).

Front (2006 G35X AWD)


Rear (2006 G35, both RWD AND AWD)

 

installed coilovers myself 2 weekends ago, follow these directions,
and i'm not very mechanically inclined either, this is my first mod i installed my self and i must say it's very gratifying

I was wondering if the nuts really need replaced or not. I know how to do the job, I just havent had those parts off before and wanted to know if I will be able to reuse them or not. Sometimes parts are reusable even if the FSM says to replace them....

Thanks for the link though. Good stuff.

 

Yes you can reuse them. I have changed my rear springs out all the time.

 

Thanks! (And thanks for being so active on the forums and helping out in the suspension department )
