Looking for opinions of good and reliable parts suppliers.

Currently looking for power steering reservoir.
Any other vehicles use a compatible reservoir?
The only one I have been able to locate has been from dealer stock, typically priced over $500.

It's also time to replace shocks and struts, running original parts at around 160,000 miles.
What parts would you recommend for the shocks and struts?

Thanks in advance for direction.

For the suspension you have very little choice, stock or coilovers. KYB used to make an aftermarket product called SR Specials but they are long gone. No other aftermarket support unfortunately.

I you want to keep the ride plush you have to go stock partners, everythinginfiniti as actually Scottsdale Infiniti so you can rely on 100% stock OEM quality. You can do coilovers for about the same price but it will make the car much stiffer.

Any issues with any sensors or anything when you switch to coilovers on the "t"?

I've been getting my parts from here.: https://www.infinitipartsnet.com/index. ... =completed

As for your PS reservoir, I wrote a post about having mine replaced with a cheap Dorman BMW/Mini Cooper part. The part numbers are in the post and are readily available. The post should still be on the first page of this forum.

Hope that helps you out.
