Hi guys been ages since I've been on nico!

I need to replace the suspension on my aniv. edition Q45.
Now I seem to remember there being more online suppliers for oem parts back in my day (lol)
I'm just trying to get the best price since the struts hover around $300 a pop.


fyi I'm also looking for a trunk lid if someone on here is looking to part ways with one.


Thanks!

I was under the impression that there was no way to rebuild on cars with active suspension...
If there is then I'm all for it seeing as I'll probably save some money.

Just checked the prices on the site and they look great too!

Your car is not active, it has electronically controlled shocks, so go with IoS. Be sure to order all the rubber bits you will need to replace. At the minimum, you will need new strut bearings up front.

I'm a bit off on my acronyms, what is IoS?
Also where can I get a list of the parts to be replaced? I found a break in the fsm but I doesn't mention anything about strut cylinder rebuild components.

That is the web site he gave you, IoS is Infinti of Scotsdale, an Infinti dealership that sells for a great price mail order. Make sure if you decide to buy from them to call and not order over the web, tell them that your a member of NICO and they should give you an additional discount.

AS Jeff said when you call them, tell them, you want the front strut insert and not the complete front strut assembly.

Be sure to have your VIN handy. Inspection is mandatory. Steering rack bushing, check the anti-sway bar end links, spring seats every 100K -120K is a good practice. Anti-sway bar bushings. Just look for cracks.

One or two members have had good experiences with www.orderinfinitiparts.com - which is the online parts site from a dealership in Charlotte NC.

I have been a long time customer of Infinti of Scottsdale, so I don't have any experience with them.

I like them..

They are so close to the east coast central warehouse that it gives a whole new customer service experience.

I think I would drive to Charlotte NC to buy a car from them.
