That estimate seems kind of low for suspension damage. Since the impact made a $300 part give out, what about the dozens of other components? sensors, rods, ball joints, arms, sways, etc. You could have done some damage to the wheel hub and bent some studs too, maybe even some axle damage? Having this repair completed to meet factory spec could cost an arm and some toes lol

^yeah and Nissan doesn't sell ball joints or bushings separately, so yer talking knuckle assemblies and control arms for that stuff. I think your shop is being extremely optimistic. They may think they can just get some $40 bushings and then find out they actually have to get a $350 control arm just to get that bushing.
Alright, the shop said it was one of the rear knuckles, as google shows, its a main component that holds a lot together. They gave me an estimate of $1,200 and said theyd get back to me after contacting nissan to get prices on new and used ones. They also said theyre gonna check out the price for an after market one. Im not an after market type of guy so i will go with the oem because the price difference is usually nothing crazy.
It has to be #1 in the diagram im guessing, which is only $298 and the bushings that are needed with it (if not included) couldnt be too much $. Here are the links of what im talking about, I dont know how to tag pictures on this forum, the normal " <img src=" "> doesnt seem to work.

(Second link that feature the pricing, part # ect... says #6 but #6 and #1 are the same thing on both diagrams (i just posted one of the 2 diagrams) )
Is an estimate of $1200 a lot for this fix? They will obviously have to do an alignment too but thats nothing.

Here's a quick google of an equivalent Nissan knuckle (i.e. exact same part #).

BTW, I always use Sewell Infiniti's online parts site for viewing all parts breakdowns ( http://infiniti.sewellparts.com/oem-...edan-2007.html and http://infiniti.sewellparts.com/oem-...edan-2007.html ), then get the part number, then shop for best pricing on google.

Was the knuckle fractured/snapped? It's a pretty stout piece, so if it snapped, it seems like there would have been a tremendous amount of force placed on numerous other mount points and locating members also. Hopefully the shop you went to is knowledgeable enough to access for less obvious damage/distortion. Also, did they check the rear wheel? I can't imagine that it's not at least bent. It's hard to say whether that cost is reasonable or not without knowing the full scope of what all will end up being included in that. A quick hint if you do go shopping for parts: always check to see if the part number is shared with a Nissan branded vehicle, and if it is, look at sourcing it from a Nissan supplier. Usually, whenever you say Infiniti, the price goes up, even if it is the exact same factory part. I will say that if you do get out of this jam for $1200, you're lucky!

Yea like i said i want to examine everything and ask questions before anything is set in stone. And im aware of infiniti jacking up the price for a nissan part, i just didnt know which or what year 350/370z my g35 was equivelant to.

Well i will for surely look at everything before they do anything, ask questions along with comparing both the left and right sides. i cant see them beating around the bush like that, its a mom and pop shop that has been open for 52 years now and business is always off the hook (pass it just about everyday).
i will get back to u if it was snapped or fractured, i guess snapped would be better right? Meaning better to snap a one part quick and easy than fracture it with a lot of strain which the other parts might absorbed.

It's not like there is a particular equivalent Nissan car per se(sold in the states anyway), so all you need to know is the actual part number that you need, then just use google to shop for it or try searching for it directly at the online Nissan parts sites. It's kind of surprising sometimes to see the variety of models and years that use the exact same parts.

Yeah, I was also kinda worried that they may just be seeing that it's bent/twisted or something, but not seeing everything else that might be too.

But like u said some parts just dont change throughout the years which is surprising but good at the same time because them not changing the style part means they gotta be doing something right

Alright i got a call back from the shop and first thing i asked that if the knuckle was fractured or broken and they said it had been bent. They said they will be replacing the upper control arm and the knuckle for around 850 all together. Yes these are used oem parts. Im praying when they put it back together and do the alignment that everything else is fine.
