You would think Infiniti would design a serviceable repair. Ford does the same on the 04 thru 09 F-150 upper control arms and the 2 wheel drive front rotors. until just recently if you needed rotors they came with wheel bearings, upper control arm had to be replaced with ball joints.

Not good for the drivetrain and driveshaft as the slop under load could wear the U joints faster

SOHO did mine for $500, IIRC, including the bushing.

Yeah, I was just there and Matt told me the same. I am definitely not going to attempt it myself!

I'm a big DIY guy, but for $400 in labor? Considering I'd be doing this myself, in the garage, with hand tools, it would take me the whole day. $400 for labor is a deal!

I agree completely. If I have the tools, I generally DIY... with the exception of suspension components.
