So i took my g35 in to the dealership to get the cats replaced under warranty and they did an inspection on the car while it was there. I have an 04 g35 sedan with 66k miles. As for aftermarket suspension parts, I have tanabe springs and stillen upper control arms to adjust the camber.

Dealership gave me a list of things to change...

1. They said both lower ball joints are leaking grease from boots.

2. Both compression rod bushings are split.

3. driver side lower contol arm damaged from loose sway bar endlink.
(I already knew i was missing a nut on the sway bar link so i bought one at the dealership today)

They also recemmended i change the 2 drive belts and cabin filter =)


What do you guys think? Has anybody changed any of these parts on their cars? Where should i buy them? Do these parts require immediate attention? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank You !

I never take my car to the dealer for regular maintenance. I do oil changes myself. Changed the coolant and spark plugs myself also.

 

Inspect them yourself. Lower BJ seems to be a stretch...as for compression rods-you will know if they are shot-front end will be noisy and steering a bit "vague".
Cabin filter is a DIY job-do a search and you will find how to. No point to pay 1 hr of labour for that.
As for belts-they seem to deterriorate quite quickly. It is not a very expensive job, I would have it done.

 

the front suspension seems fine..i might take a look at it with my friend just to be sure tho.
I was thinking about getting the tranny completely flushed by the dealer so I'll have them replace the 2 belts at the same time..
