I have a 2002 Nissan Stagea that ran straight and true with no excess tire wear, until idiot mechanic bent something!! Which is equal to the 2004 G35XAWD in all suspension and underpinnings. Yes, these were the predecessor cars for the G35X all wheel drives released in the U.S. as 2004 AWDs. All suspension components are the same. I had a guy bounce this car hard on a short hoist with the tires hanging, and I picked up 1-dregree of positive camber(only on left front) with very very slight toe-in, but almost un-noticable. If anybody has heard of such a strange thing, or what part is the best guess to replace, let me know!!! No other alignment issues are noted, so it is and has been a bit frustrating, especially on the island I live on for now. Has worn my tires off rotating them to the +1 positive front left. Cost to get upper A-Arm here is $375.00 U.S.. And same for Compression Rod. I am afraid to let them
touch bushings or even the taper cups at the Ball joints without standing over them with two clubs. They can destroy a steel ball with a rubber mallet in less than 3 minutes, so they gotta be good at something?!?! Likely upper A-Arm stretched funny/cracke near ball joint, or compression arm bushing, but looks fine.
Thanks for not tearing me a new one about posting this car on here, but from the underside it is a G35X with a 2.5 liter rather than 3.5L. Any help or guesses or similar odd jounce damage is sincerely appreciated. The equivalent of bouncing it on a hoist hard that does not lift thru tires, rather thru the chassis points, with the wheels all hanging freely.
