so i went by the infiniti dealership to pick up a few items and one of these items happens to be a ball joint connecting the LCA and knuckle. here's the problem, they want me to buy the whole damn knuckle to get it...i'm not willing to pay for an entire knuckle to get a F'ing ball joint...please help.

 

ebay or a junkyard

Infiniti wanted over $900 for a replacement rear half-shaft for the part alone. I bought one with under 30K miles on ebay shipped to me for $69 total. Put in on and it's worked like a charm for 15K miles.

 

thanks...

does anyone else have any experience with picking these up new without having to buy the whole damn knuckle?...like aftermarket oem style

 

Try this:

the ebay ones are garbage.

 

Based on personal experience or..?

 

if ur lowered you might wanna try the Megan Racing roll center adjusters, i have them on my sedan and couldn't be happier>>> http://www.meganracing.com/products/...d=850&catid=26

 

yes personal experience. Went through two different pairs and they were HORRIBLE.

I just bought some used knuckles from car-part.com after that

 

I was looking for the ball joints for my g35 sedan and just found this thread.

I spotted a ball joint for my 2005 g35 sedan from a manufacturer called Deeza at rockauto.com.

DEEZA Part # ING605
Front Lower
$40.79

Did anybody tried these ball joints?

I had used some Deeza control arms and ball joints for my wife VW before, and are really happy with them so far.

i ended up with getting the ebay ones before i saw all this...oh well, brake em and move on.

 

omgoodness!

 

I would never pay $500 for 2 ball joints. Even it makes the car fly somehow!

 

I ended up purchasing the Deeza ball joints ones off of Rockauto. Initially they look well made. I will post again about how they last.

 

Anyone have a DIY link to install the ball joints?
