Hello All,

I bought a used 350z ('04) and I have a little bit of work to do after having a nissan dealership look into some noise i was having.

The bushings on the front control arm are bad, but the warranty is covering that (since its front end).

The rear sway bar links are bad which is not covered by the warranty. Rather than pay the Nissan dealership $300, I was going to do this myself. Doesn't seem so bad. I was going to use this guide:

However, this isnt specifically for a 350z. Has anyone done this before or know of a guide to do this? Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Most noteworthy difference is the design of the endlinks. your link was to a design utilized in the older GM products especially. oh...link was IROC....self explanatory then.

so yeh, the procedure for changing the endlinks hasn't really changed, its just the details that have.

here's the easiest to find link I can find that's Z specific.

here's one from this site

The trick is to have the weight off the wheels...or equal weight on the wheels. but generally off is easier to obtain.

 

Thanks for the info. My friend has ramps so we can get the car up and see underneath it. I'd prefer to leave the tires + exhaust on since I'm not that handy when it comes to cars. But if not, ill go buy some jack stands and get the tires off.

Once again, thanks!

 

I need to replace mine as well.
