^ I think that for just 1 bushing and the Energy Suspension is $58.00 for both. I will probably go with what is the cheapest.

 

Yes.. isn't that what reviews and diy all about and you use the search the button for? The armstrong bushings corrected my caster issues also and has no NVH. My clunking noise quieted hence my problems lies somewhere else as its still there. I never said the clucking was from my compression rod bushings, but they where torn. I never did say it was the best, just a better option instead of the two piece design that can deflect over time and never did I personally bad mouth a product nor endorse one. I also stated nismo and oem was the other two I would go also if available. I can provide you with a vyvanse pill if it helps?

 

Of course pricing is always a problem. Nismo I believe are discontined but you might find some around still. They are also at 50.00+ a piece. The oem replacement of course is 150.00+ eash side. Like I stated I'm trying to get a deal done with a international company that makes hard rubber like the nismo and provide it at a cost around 70-80 a pair. My g35 gang here will more then happy do a trial run when available. Goodluck with your install.

 

I heard the Armstrong were very good but yeah pricing is the problem for me, but I will look around and if they are not that much more expensive I will probably buy them. Thanks

 

The whitelines are 3 piece and they're considered the best. And you're mistaken if you would imply a recommendation (just because you didn't endorse the product specifically, doesn't mean you didn't do it by implication) for an OEM part vs the energy bushings, because the problem is not the bushing. The problem is the imperfect geometry of the front suspension. If you read enough reviews you would understand that OEM replacements will tear again in a matter of months if not weeks. I've read plenty of reviews where the armstrongs rip and only one where an energy bushing ripped. I believe this is due to the 3-piece design that creates the gap (extra flex appeal) that everyone sees after install. The only complaint I've heard about energys is that they make noise, but you can't rely on those reviews because some bone heads don't know how to grease bushings. Reviews should be taken with a grain of salt and you only look for patterns of failure in any given product; of which energy has few.
Just sayin..

 

Hey guys, sadly i still don't know where or how to open the trunk in the G35, im currently using the key fob, anyone know where the button is located

 

Haha
To the left of the steering wheel under the vent. It's the middle button.

 

There is a valet switch in the glove box that could be turned on/off that prevents the trunk from being opened too if you still cant get it.

 

Thank God for this thread

 

Okay are the compression rods the same as the lower control arm?

 

Nope, that's called the transverse link in these cars!
Compression rod seems to sits in between lower and upper.

 

Okay so I had new lower control arms installed a few weeks ago, but i still have clunking. So it is the compression rod then, are there any other names for this part so I can explain to my mechanic?

 

It's also known as the radius arm.

The lower control arm sits on top of the steering knuckle ball joint. There is another big ball joint facing down (toward the ground) right next to the knuckle ball joint (that one faces up). The downward facing ball joint is attached to a rod that has a bushing on the other end sandwiched between the subframe and the body of the car. That's the compression rod.
