I don't have any experience with the SPC kit but that doesn't look right. What's up with the spacers? On most front A arms the cone seats into the stock curved arm. Seems like the spacers create too much play in the bolt that holds it all together.

Did you read through this thread in the stickys? https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...tallation.html

Edit: After reading through that thread again it looks like you didn't re-install the conical rubber bushing from the stock A arm and the washers are definitely a no go.

I know that's wrong.

It's not symmetrical and your grease boot should be mashed to the spindle.

Do not drive the car; that is a dangerous way to have the suspension assembled.

did you or the installer make sure you pulled the cone/tapered bushing from the old arm and placed it into the new one?

The car has actually been fixed by now. I'm knee-deep in getting the shop that did the install to take responsibility for their work, I had the mod friendly local infiniti dealership fix all of the issues- which I became suspicious of after finding those rubber rings torn and laying near my parking spots. The issues with the front started with the conical bushings being left off, and then for whatever reason they attempted to use the red bushings to cushion the arm in its place. There is a lot more detail that I could go into, but until this matter is resolved I've decided to not defame the shop. I posted these up here mostly to get a sanity check that I, and the dealership for that matter, weren't the only people who saw something completely and utterly wrong with this install job, thanks!
