#2830 of 2835 Infi G35 Compression Rod Bushings.... by pfreak76 Oct 27, 2009 (3:39 pm)
Guys - I drove the car into the dealers for a good old battery change and the dealer did an inspection to reveal that the compression rod bushings are worn. Apparently they cost $335 and $130 to mount back and align the tires.    I have never heard of this before. Is this a real problem? What's the impact of such a problem and do I need to spend all this money at the dealer or do I have a more economical solution available to me that I dont know of? I just replaced my tires btw...

Replying to: borisboris (Oct 27, 2009 1:47 pm) I agree, sounds like a steal to me also. The only significant thing the car would have needed in that one year/6500 miles is an oil change or two. So long as the car was never run low on oil (which could have happened if it wasn't being maintained), you should be good to go.

Replying to: srs_49 (Oct 28, 2009 2:39 am) guys, thank you for your opinion and sorry I mistyped the price, it is actually 28,000 still a great price I think Replies to this message: gooddeal2 (Oct 28, 2009 6:01 am) srs_49 (Oct 28, 2009 8:59 am)

Replying to: borisboris (Oct 28, 2009 5:46 am) Well, that change the whole thing...28K is an o.k deal. You probably can pick up a certified pre-owned from the Infiniti dealers for about the same price (28-29k) but the mileage will be a lot higher, usually in the 20k.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Oct 28, 2009 6:01 am) Yes, that would change the equation for me also.   Heck, I paid $36,450 for a new G37S which included the Premium, Nav, and Aerodynamic packages, Cargo area organizer, splash guards, and destination charges. Take away the options that you don't have, and the prices comes down to ~$34K. IMM, I'd rather have something brand new for a ~20% price difference.

Replying to: pfreak76 (Oct 27, 2009 3:39 pm) pfreak76, I have a 04 G35 sedan that had its compression rods replaced late in the warranty period. The car has 80K miles on it currently and I expect at some point in the not too distance future I will be replacing them again. I think there have been some other comments about this particular issue on this thread. In my opinion, the wear issue on the compression rods doesn't rise to the level of the known brake wear issue, but it still is another one of those problem areas with the G. Speaking of brakes, I have to go get them replaced again (probably the rotors too)
