I recently got my G 35 a couple months ago. It's a coop. It has a little over 150,000 miles and runs perfect. I've got two things I have a question about. I check the transmission fluid and there is a little bit of sludge on the dipstick. This kind of trips me out. What would be the best advice to do about that? Also, my car pulls to the right while driving. And shakes a little bit. So I went to get an alignment done, and it still did the same thing. I went back and they switch the front tires and is still pull to the right so they said that it has to do with the suspension. My ball joints are bad, and I'm about to get those changed.What else should I get checked out?

 

Like a chicken coop?

 

Haha, yeah I know. I use speech to text. It's much faster. It spelled infiniti wrong on my last thread.

 

Are you DIYing or going to pay someone to do the work for you?

I'd do a drain and refill of the transmission fluid and see what it looks like.

Did they specify which ball joints?

There are ball joints on the upper control arms, compression rods, and one on the steering knuckle. The bushings on all of those could also be shot as well. I think the bushings on each of those can be pressed out.

If it's the steering knuckle ball joint you can press that out. If it's the compression rods, I think you need to buy new ones, since they are attached to the rod. I'm not sure about the upper control arms, but I think those can't be pressed out either.

Check your tie rod ball joints as well.
