G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

I bought each one off of ebay, they came from a dealership but I can't remember which one, a bunch of people sell them. I paid $184 shipped for each. They came in the factory plastic with the Nissan label on them so I know they're authentic. Took about 45 minutes each side to replace them and that includes time to jack up the front and remove the wheels.

Dang, pricey. I've seen a few go on ebay for half that, used of course. Might need to hit up the junk yard if I can't find anything. Thanks for the info on labor thought, very helpful. Place I got my alignment done said they'll re-do it for free if they install the part. Gotta find out their labor rate and if it's more than $60 I'll just install myself.

I wouldn't touch a used set, I drive too much. If I had been thinking intelligently when I bought the new ones, I would have kept the old ones, bought some aftermarket bushings, and kept those arms to use when my new ones wear out.
My goal for my car is, and has been from day 1, to drive it until 200K or longer. If I get close to that I'll need new arms down the road and it would be nice to have some beefed up ones ready.

Hmmm, maybe I'll opt for some new ones. Was just thinking of the least inexpensive route since cash is tight. I'd go with bushings, but the cost of the bushings plus labor to replace them seems like it would cost as much, if not more than getting new arms. My plan is the same as yours, keep this car for a very long time.

Had to replace both of my fronts less than 5 months ago.
