Dang. Paragraphs are your friends.

I replaced my rear endlinks a long time ago to get rid of some creaking, if your compression rod bushings are good or have been replaced, changing the front end links is a very reasonable and pretty inexpensive route to take in order to solve the problem.

Going to order these online, Local Dealers want 60 or 47 bucks for each endlink. When Infiniti of Scottsdale has them for 20bucks lol

There are two bushings right? How easy are they to install? I haven't really looked at them before.

I installed two new endlinks today, but the noise remains. I did not get to do the bushings as I semi stripped one bolt and the dealer does not have any replacements, so I decided not to mess with it.

I am off to my shop to see what they say. Ill ask them to try to loosen and re tighten the bolt on the strut and see how that goes.

Sorry I missed your post from before. Are you talking about the sway bar bushings? IIRC, there are 3 bolts per side on the brackets holding them in. Best way to remove is using a torque gun. I want to say those are also 17mm bolts? Lube those suckers good with some lithium grease.

Its cool, They are 14mm and there are 3 Bolts,and then 1 Nut that needs a deep socket or an open ended wrench. Then there is one 14mm bolt underneath the bar but I dont think you need to take that off.

I just realized the 14mm socket I bought back in 09 was a 12 point, so it slipped on the nut, I decided not to mess with it, I already junked my 12 point and replaced it with a 6pt.

The Endlinks are 17mm

I have a 2005 g35x. I purchased the Whiteline endlinks for the 350z/g35 and they don't seem to fit. The bolt on the lower control arm is too fat to fit through the spherical bearing. Did I get the wrong kit or am I stuck with factory? I am rolling pretty low on BC coilovers and have a helleva sound coming from the front end when i roll over dips. Also, has anyone with the front end clunk/wham sound had SPC upper a arms? I think that may be my problem. I replaced my lower control arm bushings, my radius arm bushings, my lower ball joint on the lower control arm.
