as far as the rattle. i also had issue on my my driver side, what seemed to be the strut. but dealer pointed the problem at the endlinks. they were replaced and the rattle was gone. (the noise seemed almost like my strut was loose. i would hear it over bumps and going into driveways or when accelerating hard)
i know that the 03-04 endlinks were much weaker compared to the revised 05-06 endlinks. i would point the issue on your endlinks.
just my 2 pennies

OP i wouldnt waste my time on these, not even as temps. infiniti recs struts to be replaced or go bad around 60ish k. you would end up putting more time than its worth in the install. if u wanna stick with oem just get a brand new set up tokico HP Blues. they retail for like 300 new.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions. I'll take a look at those endlinks. While I appreciate the offers for used struts, I'm going to go with new, I want a little better handling than the stock setup. But I may be interested in those 350z springs. Out of curiosity, is there any requirement to change the endlinks if you use lower springs?

But anyways, new ones are nice if you plan on keeping the car for a while.
