Struts / links 1996 Q45

[rich 96Q45 san diego]

hi all,my mechanic says that i need new struts and links on my Q45 with 80k. i thought i just needed to get my tires balanced because my steering wheel vibrated around 70mph and i dont have any weights on the front rims to balance the tires, but he says its my suspension and pointed out bumps on my front tires from the poor suspension and the alignment.

He can not find any after market struts and infiniti wants $400 per strut and $170 for each link.I am jobless. Anybody know of any aftermarket products i can get to save on costs?

I am looking at $1700 for struts, links, alignment, and tires (includes labor).Somebody shoot me.

You need the gaiters, the tension rod bushings and probably the upperlinks along with the Tokico Blue shocks. Last day for 5% off. Call now!

And let me say you need to take your car to someone a little more familiar with the G50. One of the best 3 independents in the country is

Thanks for the infiniitipartsusa website, but after shipping the savings is modest compared to the dealer. Anybody know of any aftermarket place that has struts and links for a 96 Q45?

are you saying replace the struts with Tokico Blue shocks?

What? Four blues from Joe is less than $300 last time I got mine earlier this year.

Your G50 does not have struts, so your "mechanic" is way off base and out of his league. Really.

You really need to study this
