Compression rod aka lower rear control arm on 2004 g35x vs g35 vs coupe
so you have an X but converted it to rear wheel drive?
is your front suspension similar to the X or the rear wheel drive sedan?
the RWD and the X compression rods are shaped differently. I have attempted to install a RWD CR on my X and no go. Simply will not fit as stated above.

Not compatible, I got the part and it did fit, but just like Yosip1115 said (and I can verify this) there is virtually less than 2mm of clearance between the cv boot and balljoint that attaches under the the axle boot.
I didn't notice that and I tore up my boot. It looked like a grease bomb went off. Spent the better part of a day just cleaning up everything before I was able to get my tools on to tear everything apart. Ordered a compression rod from O'reilly's - oreillyauto.com and it looks like the right part and actually has the same density and heft to it. will put it on sometime this weekend. I had to drive with the cv boot busted for a bit before I could get a chance to clean everything up and take apart everything.
What a F#@&*N MESS that was !!!!

Thank you for the recommendation. So the RWD rods will fit my application after all, cool.
