Hi, I have a 2003 RWD Infiniti G35 Sedan with 122k miles, and I'm planning to replace the front lower control arms on both sides (forward and rearward...or lower control arm and compression rod...whichever you prefer to call them). At any rate, my question is primarily about the front lower rearward control arms (compression rods).

1) Are compression rods the same for 2003-2006 or if there is a difference. Is there a difference between RWD and AWD? Is there a difference between sedan and coupe?

2) Is Moog a respectable brand? I don't need top of the line. I'm looking for a reliable brand that still keeps me under $100 each for the rearward control arms.

 

Rockauto has a decent selection of control arms for the RWD's. AWD not so much but that doesn't affect you. If you search "Rockauto discount code", you can find a 5% off coupon online as well.

Unsure if there is a difference coupe vs rwd sedan, but the AWD sedan is different. 2003-2006 would be the same however.

Moog is a reputable suspension/balljoint/bushing manufacturer

 

The factory bushings for the compression rods are only $45 each. Part number is 54570-AC70A for each side. You will just have to get someone to press old ones out and press the new ones in for you. Hope this helps and yes Moog has been around for a long time and they have a good reputation.

 

I'll give you two rubber bushings for $20 + shipping.
