06 G35 Coupe sways from left to right

Hey everyone this is my first post and I desperately need help. I hit a curb going about 20mph on the right side. It was a hard hit, and at first I thought that the tire popped, but all I could see was a gash in the wheel but no other visible damage. Soon when my car would reach 60mph and higher on the freeway, my car started to sway. There is a vibration coming from what feels like the front left wheel and at 60mph the car starts to sway from left to right. Not so much that I can't control it, but enough to make me consider changing cars. I love my G very much and would absolutely hate to trade it in, but this problem is getting frustrating. I have taken it to the Infiniti dealer and so far they have replaced
1. Front Left and Right spindles
2. Front left and right lower control arms
3. Rear crossmember
4. Front crossmember
5. Rack and pinion
6. Front left wheel bearing

The dealership finally gave up and told me that the front right camber was off -1.5 and there was no factory adjustment for it. I think at this point, the only thing to change would maybe be the upper control arm. Considering getting an aftermarket one so I can adjust the camber.

Please anyone that can give me any help or know any reliable G35 mechanic in the Orange County area... I would be extremely thankful.

Did you replace the wheel? Sounds like it got dented. I've got a set of upper A-arms from my 06 for sale if you need those.

I got a set of staggered XXR 006 18's. Made the vibration worse. So I tried a set of G37 19's. No difference. So I have the stock 18's back on. How much for the Arms?

pm sent about the arms.

Something sounds bent or loose. On number 6, why didn't you replace the right wheel bearing? Since that's the side that was hit.

Aside from the upper arms, the shock itself could be damaged. See page 4: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/G35/Coup..._Coupe/fsu.pdf
