I erroneously placed this post on the wrong board so now that I've got it right, does anyone have any experience replaced the rear lateral link? My son hit a curb and now that link is bent. Here's my original post:

I have a few questions on replacing that lateral link. Do I need any special tools to replace this? Looks like two bolts, however since the rod is bent, will I need to take anything else apart to get the new one installed? Guess I'm unsure if there will be pressure preventing me from aligning the bolt holes. Is it as simple as removing 2 bolts and replacing the part? Also, I have a G35X, so are the part#s the same? I see these on Rock auto:



Thanks in advance!!

 

I don't have any advice for the actual replacement, but I can tell you that the rear end on the sedanX is exactly the same as for the 2WD sedan. It's the front end that is different.

 

Thanks for that info.

I bought the part online and while I wait for the part, does anyone else have any input on the potential difficulty I may have replacing this part?

Thanks.

 

That should easily be replaceable since when I lowered my car many years ago, I bought SPC adjustable ones, (which are still on the car) Torque value's though, I am unsure of. Just take the tire/wheel off and it's right there!
