Good source for OEM Infiniti parts?

It's about that time to replace the engine filters and the in cabin filter...as well as a lug nut (the dealer took my tires off to inspect my brakes and what not and when they put them back on I assume either they forgot to put a lug nut on or just didn't tighten it properly and it fell off).

I wanted to know if there was a really good source to get OEM parts online for good prices.

First off I replaced my engine air filters with a set of Wix which were cheap and look almost exactly the same (different color). I think you can replace the cabin filter with a better Nissan one such as the FX.

As far as the lug nuts go I would take it back and have them replace the lost one and retorque all. They should not fall off unless they were not torqued. The fact that one is gone and the stud is in good tells me that none were properly torqued.

Which wheel is it? Just curious since on some older cars the lug bolts (I do mean bolts) and on at least some if not most trailers, everything is threaded to self tighten. To me while it make make it a little confusing at times makes sense. I was in an old Ford where one of the rear wheels passed us in traffic. got out, took one lug nut off of the remaining wheels and added one we found and we were going again. Would never have happen on my car which used the bolts.

PM rick@riverside or everythingnissan.com there are lotsa good places I am sure. You might as well get a locking set of lugnuts since if you are going to buy one, this will reduce the chance of someone jacking your wheels.

+1 on getting your dealer to give you a free replacement lugnut tho sounds like they were at fault, and they prolly have buckets of them laying around.... ok maybe not, but worth a shot.

Hands down Riverside Infiniti.

Call them and ask for Rick or Tony from parts department. They'll hook you up with great price!

They were all retorqued. I had new tires and brakes installed at a local shop and while I was watching them, the tech came up to me and told me that I was missing a lug nut. It had to of been from the dealership.

By what you're saying, it sounds like the dealership may have completely forgotten to put on my lug nut.

I'll swing by and have them give me one for free.
