Do you know if the old hotchkis is also 35mm polyurethane greasable bushings? or is it a different size?

Hothkis uses a OEM style 35 mm bushing so that it fits on our stock brackets, so I don't think any 35 mm bushing will work. I have to get it straight from hotchkis...

I need this style but 35mm...

If you're getting the OEM front sway bar, I hope you also bought OEM bushings.

Yes I got the bushings from infiniti. it was cheaper to buy a used oem sway bar and bushings than it was to get hotchkis to ship me replacement bushings + grease.

How good are your mechanical skills?

Drive belts cost less than $40 for parts, so that's a DIY to me. Spark plugs are ~$50, so I'd have to know what else was included in that tune up.

Dunno if brakes are fair prices, I do those myself.
