Being that this platform is built in Japan🇯🇵 I definitely believe it’s worth it, it’s a vehicle with great quality that would go all the way to 400 K with proper maintenance..!
I mean it would probably last that long if babied. 250k on original drive train is what to expect if you ask me. Honestly their so nice and reliable I would just drop a new trans and engine when the time comes tbh
I really appreciate this video. My 07 G 4dr is my first car and my dream car so I've taken the time to take care of it and rebuild the suspension and replace struts on the front end and guides like this have helped me make sure I'm doing things correctly. Sadly the guy with it before me didn't care about the car as much so I'm left with a 14 years of neglect to the car. Rusted on bushings, and seized bolts etc but I promised myself I'd work through it!
this is great i was planning to redo my front end of my suspension on my g35 coupe with 132000 miles this video helped me out alot thank you so much cant wait to the job now
These cars are hella resiliant. We've owned a 06 sedan since new and it's been in 7 accidents. It was "totaled" earlier this year and I'm still driving it
Eric you are doing such an awesome job with your channel!! I have learned so much from watching your videos. My 08 G Sedan has 271K Miles on it. Runs & drives perfectly. Recently had same front end parts replaced along with wheel bearings all the way around. I get 25 MPG @ 75 MPH on highway. No leaks less than 1 qt burn between 3700 mile oil changes. Have changed my PS/AT/Rear End/Coolant/Brake Fluids every 30K Also have evacuated & recharged my A/C every 3 years since i bought it in 2010 when it had 40K on it.
Thanks for making this video, someone hit me a few days ago and pushed my wheel back. It was also probably about time for me to redo my suspension anyway. 😂😂😂
I bought a 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan Automatic with 91,000 on it,I Love it,The Only problem is when the heater which is dual zone is Blowing nice and warm it will not turn off?Or only when it wants too?It came with an aftermarket Alpine single din any suggestions?🙂
2004 g35 AWD 4DR Sedan with 207,900 miles and the same situation. Strong engine and tranny, front end suspension needs replacement. Plan on doing myself. Question: When ordering parts, are there any parts that differ on the RWD vs. AWD models. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos.
My 05 has 234k, runs amazing needs front suspension work too, I got the front wheel hub in today and its seems harder to rotate then I would have thought. Any idea's?
I bought me my first car at 18 november of last year a 2004 g35 sedan rwd with 142k. After I bought it I had an inspection done and was quoted over 4k for whole new front end suspension needed all new bushings in the front valve cover gasket, motor mounts and a few other little things ive forgot. I have about 172k and haven't had one issue so far *knock on wood* i have had to get 5 tires, one blow out unknown why one with a nail and one was worn out and ive just had 2 new front tires put on recently. I have done the regular Oil changes every 3 or 4k miles with mobile one, got new pads and rotors done at 148k got some cheap amazon pads and there going in and out when brakeing not sure what pads to get. I need all the advice and tips i can get.
Hi Eric, Thanks for the videos they are really helpful! I have a G35 sedan base with 213K mile on it. I have it for a year now but I have started to fix it up because I fell in love with the car. Recently I took the car to one of my mechanic friends and he suggest the same repairs you did and mentioned on this car. I did not have the time , experience or tools to buy the parts and do it myself so I had to take it to a mechanic to do it. Do you have any estimation how much it would cost for me to let someone else do it and what brand for the parts do you suggest to full control arm sets, power steering, and shock absorbers? (important factor: I am on a tight budget)
Great Video!!!!!! Watched the entire video!!!! My Rack and Pinion has a light leak on my 2010 FX35 with 172K miles. I found a really good used one on ebay which I'm having my mechanic install soon. Question, for the last 2 months, sometimes, not all the time, when stopping, there's a thug noise that i feel in my break pedal. I'm changing my transmission mount, but i also changed my front wheels bearings, added new rotors and pads... the thud issue doesnt happen all the time, but feels liek something is loose, i just cant find it. New rear subframe & controll arms were installed as well. Any idea?
Consider instead of replacing the suspension parts, where possible, replace the bushings with urethane. Longer lasting, a little noisier and stiffer perhaps.
For the customer is not the best in terms of cost effective. If it was my car id probably do that, but realistically, I don't see much of a difference as far as longevity
I just watched you replace the entire front end on the G35 with 285k on it! I have been chasing a driver's side rattle for 2 years! I have been chasing a rattle on my 2003 rwd sedan. I replaced everything....rattle still there. It is a slight rattle when driving on uneven roads....not necessarily big potholes, etc....10 mechanics and 3 Infiniti Service Techs can't figure it out. Can you venture a guess?
Hey bro love the vids. I changed my lower control arms and ball joints but noticed my steering wheel is very loose now. Any idea on what could be the problem ? Also would I need an alignment done after changing this out ??
For the lower control arm the big bolt on the subframe is hard asf to remove any tips? I tried using the breaker bar and I currently don’t have an impact other than a 3/4 one which barely has any torque.
I’m at 215k and the front inside tires wear prematurely. Shop mentioned the worn bushings as the alignment could only do so much. I’m teetering between selling and having this done. Any idea on the cost of this procedure?
It depends on what suspension parts are worn out. For part for the whole front is around 400 labor from a shop could be expensive but I charge 600-800 depending on what gets charged
Hey Eric I have a question I’m currently trying to do the compression arms on my ride because the bushings are shot out so I’m just replacing the whole compression arm but when I try to remove the sub frame which I have the bigger one I guess they call it the bat wing as well there are at least three bolts on there that are impossible for me to get off. I can’t get a vice grip on them, I tried drilling a hole and using one of those other screw extractors, that you twist the opposite way. I guess it’s under so much pressure it just tears up the extractor I tried using the pointy star socket, extractor, and that just tears of the bolt even more I do not have a welder to weld another knot. Oh yeah, I even try to cut a notch on the bolt head and tried to remove it like a flat head and still no luck. I was told that the sub frame is holding up the engine and if I remove it, the whole engine will come down. I didn’t see how that was even possible, but this is my daily and I can feel the suspension getting worse with my tire scraping. If you know any other way or idea, it would be greatly appreciated. I just need to get it done before my car gets worse.
Sounds like you have a unique issue without me looking at it I would be much help. That's just a frame bracket it's not the subframe so no engine won't fall if you remove it.
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE That’s very interesting because I read somewhere the chain needed to be replaced at 200k. After that my knowledge goes blank as to how long the engine lives on from there thanks!
I know im late to this masterpiece of a video 🥲 but is there a specific kit you used that includes all suspension parts or did you buy separately? (If so from where) Im currently in the works of restoring this 05 sedan i just recently picked up 🫶 much love #sedangang

As long as there's no rust and the body is straight, keep it moving.

Try a the ball joint compression arms make noise going over speed bumps

I’m looking to get my 05 done. Where you end up finding all the parts ? I keep finding parts for a coupe ?
Suspension arms are the same only difference is the shocks and springs. Customer provided the parts from trq
Hey bro love the vids. I changed my lower control arms and ball joints but noticed my steering wheel is very loose now. Any idea on what could be the problem ? Also would I need an alignment done after changing this out ??
Make sure that the ball joint cone is the right one for your vehicle
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Appreciate the reply man. I took it to get it inspected turns out my inner and outer tie rods were shot
Instead of replacing parts, I replaced most of the bushings only!!!
do u have a link to all the suspension parts?
You put 286k in the thumbnail like that's impressive or something. It's called "scheduled maintenance"
For the lower control arm the big bolt on the subframe is hard asf to remove any tips? I tried using the breaker bar and I currently don’t have an impact other than a 3/4 one which barely has any torque.
I get them off with a long breaker bar. Try using some heat
My 06 automatic g35 coupe with tiptronic mode downshifts on its own even when going like 35 mph 🤦🏽♂️any recommendations?
