Hi everyone. I have a 2007 Nissan Fuga (Y20). I usually buy parts for my car from the USA. Recently, I discovered that I needed new upper and lower control arms.

This is what led me to seek help. I normally buy replacement parts or small items like brake pads. Still, I have never purchased something of this size and price, so I wanted to ensure that it would be compatible before taking the plunge and shipping it internationally.

Any help would be appreciated.

From what I can see, the JDM Y50 shared a lot of parts with the Cima and may not correspond exactly to the M's prior to the Y51's in '09. I think I'd take the VIN to a Nissan/Infiniti dealer and have them contact DPiC to get the JDM part numbers. It may take them awhile because they'll need to contact Japan, but DPiC should be able to get you the information. Then you can google the numbers here to see if they're valid for any USDM models.

Good morning,

Thank you so much for the response. I will go ahead and try and get that done today.

The lower control arms on Y50's changed at some point during their manufacturing life, and the replacement model is no longer compatible with the rest of the suspension. It was a huge pain in the butt for me even with a US Y50. I hope you can find a compatible replacement part, but be wary that sometimes it may say the part is compatible but it really isn't unless you replace some other very expensive parts along with it that are all meant to go together. Where the Fuga model fits in on parts no one will really be able to help you outside the official channels with getting the exact part numbers like VStar said. Be sure and also find out the specifics on what parts it is compatible with on the rest of the suspension

Thank you so much for the feedback. I am still doing my due diligence and waiting for some extra information before pulling the trigger on this purchase.
