Quick background I bought a 03.5 G35 200k miles fairly cheap as a project car with a low mileage engine. I'm playing cleanup with bad, missing parts. Someone half assed putting the new engine in and fixing various components. So since I never owned a G or Z I have only internet and FSM to go by.

Here are pics of my Upper Control Arm bushings with car level on the ground. All 4 on both sides look like they are in different positions. So from these pics tell me if they look ok or bad. My past experience is in a Macpherson strut front suspension and 4 link solid rear axles so these are a tad new to me.

5 Pics of the UCA bushings

The last 2 pics are part of my underbody. The 2 vertical pieces that protect the spindle area. I ordered the underbody and fender liners. In the 2 bottom pics these 2 pieces are ziptied together and fully missing on the driver side. Looking in the FSM is shows the fender liner parts and I see the main underbody and 2 edge pieces that attach to that but I have no idea why these 2 pieces are ziptied together because I've never seen a stock G or Z with everything in tact. So if you guys can help me out what I am missing.

 

The UCA pickup points look fine, it just looks like there are different bushings on each arm. Either way an alignment will tell you if you have to worry.

That piece in the last two pics snaps into several others, and is notorious for just flopping loose. Either way its a cheap project and a very minor piece of trim, so you shouldnt let it bother you. At least I wouldnt anyway.

 

Appreciate it. The cars been a decent little project for me, luckily other than valve cover gaskets nothing has been to bad, just a few things here and there. My last car I had 12 years but had a MacPherson front and solid 4 link rear but I knew what the car looked like and felt new. So these G's,Z's have been a little learning experience
