Compression Rod and CV Boot Clamp Replacement
Hi guys,
I finally got around to changing the compression rod on my 2005 G35x, but I ran into a strange problem and thought I'd check with someone who has done this job before.
After installing the new compression rod and putting things back together, I noticed that the compression rod interferes with the CV boot clamp. Is this normal for there to be such a small clearance between the new rod and the CV joint? What am I supposed to do now??

Incompetence
The sad answer is that they gave me the compression rod for the 2WD coupe and not the AWD sedan that I asked for. Never underestimate the extreme incompetence of sales staff! I even gave them the Nissan part number for the AWD sedan compression rod, but alas, it wasn't enough to stave off their utter and complete ineptitude.
