G35 Compression Rod Problems
Today I got my car back from the dealer and had the compression rods from the front replaced under warranty. Here's the receipt:
BTW, the '05 G35 loaner I was lent for a couple days does have that similar squeaking noise in the front when going over speed bumps. I'm sure this issue is more obvious on the loaner vehicles since they are typically driven hard.
Customer states there is a squeaking when going over bumps. Found compression rods bearings have excessive play. Replaced compression rods.
COMPRESSION ROD, FRO-54469-AC70F $173.15
BOLT-STOPPER, 40038-AL510 $6.79
ROD COMPL-COMPRESSIO, 54468-AC70F $173.15

Back in May, the tech told me that they can fix it but that it's going to keep coming back. I'm worried about having to fix this issue after my warranty runs out. Infiniti has to resolve this problem.

well I have a 03.5 about to roll 50k with tein flex suspension and its starting to creek and it drives me crazy? I was thinking it was the suspension and it needing to be rebuilt!! how long should it last and if it is compression rod how much to replace!
$780 for compression rods??
My dealer quoted me $780 for compression rods last night (installed, of course... so kind) for my wife's 2003 G35 with 87K miles. Yikes!
Any aftermarket recommendations??

damn that's crazy expensive. i got mine serviced under warranty a few weeks ago. i hope infiniti comes up with an appropriate solution soon. btw, you don't need to actually replace the rods, just the bushings that the rods use. that should save you a lot of $
