02 Q45 suspension

[robausti]

Hello, I just purchased an 02 Q45 with 54k miles now at 58k my Q has a sagging rear suspension which also creaks like a haunted house door. Some days it sits low other days it looks normal...What gives?

That's new to me, did you get a warranty?

I would check all the rubber in that area.

Welcome to NICO.

Yes I have an ext warranty actually got it through carmax but it sucks.. they can't get me in for another week and a half. If I go elsewhere that takes the warranty I have a higher deductible and so far nobody seems to take it. I need to go when its in low rider mode so they can see it. I don't know why it does this I baby this car just started to notice it recently while walking towards the car from the parking lot.

Part of it is styling perception from the cut of the respective openings.

Don't know of any aftermarket springs, but there are probably some in Japan like Impul.

Factory service manual lists exact specs for distance from ground to top oh wheel-well for both front and back, easy enough to measure it yourself.

from my searches on google there are at least 3 US companies that make aftermarket springs for f50's. pls let me know what they come up with when u go in to get it checked out.

Yes that is exactly what it looks like...the car is even the same color. I noticed that the haunted house creeky door sound is only when its freezing outside not constant.

Congrats on your new purchase! You will soon learn how s***ty the F50/Infiniti really is when comes to the quality of their vehicles. Once you fix one problem, another problem will arise shortly thereafter! But...the Q45/F50 is a mighty nice car to drive though.
