Hey Rochester...sorry to swing off topic a bit...do you know the manufacturer of your rear spoiler?...BTW great thread and I love how you have built a great looking G...@

 

Thanks. The spoiler was an OEM option. It came with the car.

 

Here we go... I just got off the phone with Eibach. They don't itemize sway bar bushings on their website, but they *do* sell them, and they have them in stock, available through an over-the-phone purchase. And for confirmation... UB0239 are indeed the rear bushings. Thank you, Lego.

So I ordered the fronts and the rears, which were $22 and $25 respectively. Plus shipping, that's $56 for replacement bushings for the Eibach swaybars on the G37 Sedan RWD.

 

Rochester, you should be able to just lube the bushings with some good waterproof marine grease instead of replacing them. That was the only thing that prevented the squeaking of the Eibach sway bars I had on my Evo X.

 

That's a reasonable argument, but I already ordered them, so it's done.

My thinking is 4 1/2 years, winters, and 25k miles, it feels reasonable to just replace them. However, when I get the old ones off, and it becomes obvious I wasted my money... derp. Oh well. It's only $56.

As for the grease, I'm using Energy Suspension pre-lube.

 

Nice. If this fixes things for you, I'm going to follow suit. This seems the most likely culprit as 2G mentioned a few pages ago.

 

I hope that works out ok for you. My Evo started squeaking only about 3 months after I installed brand new Eibach sways/bushings. It must be something with their design as I have never had another sway bar make a peep and I have tried a lot of different brands over the years on a lot of different cars.

 

Not another chew toy. Wheel chocks.

Double-posted here, because Charlie is so damn cute.

 

Those wheel chocks work really well for track days....

Cool dog!

We got our 1st puppy, Lucy, last month. So far she likes riding in my wife's Maxima a lot more than my car. Then again, she was in a kennel in my car vs. my wife's lap in her car- so that may be the real issue.

 

Which one is the dog?

Been thinking we should have a Misc thread for pics of dogs, just because dog pics are awesome. There was this guy with a Malbec black Sedan who often posted pics of his Dachshund.

 

Or we could just clutter up your build thread with dog pictures






I also followed your lead and ordered front sway bar bushings from Eibach, and doubled down with replacement moog endlinks. Hopefully everything is here for a weekend install.

When the daycomes that I replace the OEM end-links, I've settled on Moog, too. Figure the SPL, SPC, Whiteline, etc. are are overkill and overpriced with respect to end-links on my DD.


Not something I can do yet... still winter here.


LOL. Have at it.

 

$25 each on Amazon with free shipping. I don't really like throwing parts on to solve a problem, but its $100, and it is the most likely source of noise. Recall I mentioned that the inside grooves are almost worn out? Well, I looked again this weekend, and if I shine a flashlight from 1 side, I can see a faint amount of light on the other. I figure it's cheaper than taking it to a shop


53 and rainy on Saturday, so I'll do this instead of my spring landscaping




Rochester's new G and officially puppy thread?
