Pushing 10YO, about 70K US miles.

What's the advices on struts and mount points ? Should I be looking to replace both and is it reasonable to attempt it at home ? I have the suspension with "sport" button - which lowers (?)/ stiffens (?) the suspension when activated. Don't care much for preserving that (I drive with it always "on") - if that saves a bunch of money.

I don't seem to have any problems at the moment. Drove her nice and easy, 95% of time there were no other occupants in the car 'cept proud self.

Any advice on parts to use and where to get em from ?

Have your VIN ready when you order your new parts if you decide to buy genuine parts, because there are a few different part numbers for struts for the F5O depending on the month/year of production and if your car has sport package / premium package, or if it doesn't.

Call the guys at I.O.S. (Infiniti of Scottsdale) and see what they recommend:

How many miles are folks usually getting from the OEM F50 shocks?
