Will the Hotchkis Sway Bar set currently on the market fit a 2013 G37X Sedan?

Sorry for posting another thread regarding Hotchkis sways, but I searched and didn't see an answer to my question.

I just got a 2013 G37X Sedan. I want to get the sways. But I went on the Hotchkis website and they only list it as 08-2012 x, part number 22443. And they cannot give a definite guarantee that the part will fit a 2013. I know that the car hasn't changed from 10 to 13. Will this part fit a 2013?

Thanks

Yes.
The 2007-2013 G35X/37X Sedans are the same in this regard.

Are you 100% sure?
Because I know that the car looks the same throughout the years 2010-2013, but there are subtle differences. I used to have a 2010, and there are little things. Example: the 2013 has no compass in the mirror, the rear seat armrest has no inner compartment. They Did change things. I'm worried that if the suspension has minor differences as well, the kind that are not noticable to the naked eye (different length bolts or different size brackets or holes), it will not fit.

Has anyone actually put on the Hotchkis sway bar set (SKU:22443) on a 2013??
Please chime in.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it will fit, just as long as you get the one made for the X.

If still in doubt, contact the manufacture directly before making a purchase.

The reason why you don't have a compass in your 2013 model is because you have navigation system. All Infiniti G's 2008 model years or later got rid of the compass in the mirror once you have navigation (since you can know your heading from your navigation screen.) I suspect your 2010 model did NOT have navigation, thus you did have the compass in the mirror.

As for the rear armrest, the inner compartment is so small and there really isn't anything you can put in there anyways, so there was no point having it.

There are absolutely no differences between 2010-2013 models in terms of suspension. You can order them. One big thing they did change after the 2008 model G's was that they got rid of the 6 CD-Changer in the trunk, which was available in the V36 sedans for 07 and 08.

OP, just a heads up during winter/cold season, these will squeak. I can't seem to find the thread where others put some special tape and grease it up silicone grease to remedy this. Just do a search.

Other than this squeaky noise during winter, these are awesome.

Here is DIY if you the mechanical type.

I hope you're right because I took the chance and ordered them.

That kinda sucks. I don't really want anything to squeak. What about the grease that comes in the package? If you put that on while installing, shouldn't that prevent the squeaking?

Yes the silicone grease does prevent the squeaking and make sure you reapply it every 15k miles to keep it greased. Have 10k on my sway bars and no squeaking still. And yes there is no change in suspension so the sway bars will fit fine.

Well, these bushings do come with zerk fittings so you can easily just use a grease gun and inject more silicone grease whenever needed.
