Hi all,

I've got my tokico shocks for my 94 Q a few days ago. Are there any rubber fittings, bushings, or anything I should think about also replacing when I change out the shocks? I don't know if this makes a difference, but the car has 130K.

Thanks,

JD

Well, at least the shock "alligator" covers are probably shot. Bump stops might be out of compiance also.

I am doing this very soon also on my almost 50K 1995 Q45 (leaking shocks and tension rod bushings).

I just ordered everything rubber that could possibly be degraded from http://www.everythinginfiniti.com knowing I could return anything I didn't need to replace, while secure knowing I had every wear item at hand if it was required.

Lots of previous posts on techniques and methods for shock replacement.
