Does anyone know where to get the gland seals for the front struts. Either an Infiniti part # or cross reference to another seal. Can't seem to find anything for that NOK seal although it looks like a motorcycle fork tube seal, can't find one that small. Even NOK doesn't list this seal or any cross reference to it. Also does anyone know what kind of fluid Infiniti originally puts in the struts. Thanks

The internal sealed bearings for the CAS are a common off the shelf item.

Thanks GerryO, This seal 25 mm X 38 mm X 7 mm # 5154T67 will fit the gland nut but its not quite the same as the original NOK seal, which had two sealing lips plus a dust lip. Can anyone cross reference the original NOK seal. NOK AR8804G
I can't find any reference to this # at all even from NOK. Infinitipartsusa asked me what a gland seal was, guess they'll be no help. :facepalm:

What is a gland seal? First time I heard it.

The gland seal is the reciprocating shaft seal that goes in the gland nut on the front struts, Infiniti calls it a "packing" but it is a high pressure shaft seal much like a motorcycle fork seal.
