YIKES!!! C-rods, tires, and bearings OH my!

So I got my oil changed earlier today...got my guy at the Infiniti Stealership! So he just gave me word that my bearings are going bad 1 in the front and 2 in the back....he said theyre EXPENSIVE!!! He also said the Comp-rods are a little weak as well. Don't wanna share what he said about my tires "I mean u name all ur kids differently why not tires?! - I kid".

Anyways Wanted to know if there might be an after market solution to these?
Especially the bearings/Comp-rod! The rods are always going bad as well as the stock springs and struts!

Suspension is killin me any ideas or directions?!

Get the hub assemblies from Riverside Infiniti to save money and have somebody local who knows their way around the G to install them.

The compression rod bushings are around $30 and can be pressed in.

You can find a stock spring/shock combo here on driver for cheap with low miles in good condition.

Look at that i was just lpeepin your ride Gdupsedan!!! I wanted to ask how was the ride? "how much feedback you get from road" especially having the front dropped more than the rear & the tire sizes as well.
Thanks for the hint "so I don't need whole new c-rods just the bushings?"
Do you recommend just changing 1 bearing at a time or sets of twos. He said I have a bad front and rear on the same side.

Get the SPL solid bushings. If you're lowered its going to destroy the stock bushings over time, and you'll just have to replace them again. I'm just finishing up a group buy, if you're interested PM me and I can get you good pricing.

My front passenger side bearing went bad. I just ordered 2 hub/bearing assemblies from Riverside Infiniti's eBay page. I'm going to replace the driver side bearing as well since I am at it. I want to keep things symmetric.

FYI, the front hub/bearing assembly comes as 1 piece. The rear bearing and hub assemblies are separate so you have to buy them in 2 pieces and get them pressed together. Read the DIY on the rear wheel bearing replacement on this forum for more info.

It's Riverside Infiniti (a real dealer). The $60 you saw was just for the bearing or the hub. You need to get both. The front will be a single bearing/hub assembly.
