Yesterday I replaced the stock springs with Cobb.

Everything went OK except for reassembly on the last wheel (of course). The bolt that holds the lower arm was stripped and the nut wasn't reattaching. After sanding and filing we thought we had the bolt fixed and tried screwing the nut back on. But it just pushed the bolt out completely.

I was wondering if its possible to just replace the bolt/nut or do I have to replace the whole ball joint?

 

Just buy a new endlink, I think they are less than $20.

 

Thanks.

Is the end link just the bolt and rubber piece that connects to the ball joint?
I'm going to head over to the Infiniti dealership tomorrow (Monday).

 

+1...you'll probably want to buy a new nut, too. They might be sold separately.

 

the endlink is the entire piece that connects the sway bar to the lower control arm.

Picked up the endlink (stabilizer arm) and nut for $25 this morning.
Also the washer is sold separately as well. I thought that was kind of extreme.

And for install it looks like I just unscrew the bolt on the top-side that's still connected and then replace with the new one. The dealership labor quote of $115 seemed a bit excessive.

 

it's the dealership... what'd you expect?

Yeah, I know... they're horrible. I just like to ask to keep reminding me how outrageous the costs are.
