New 2010 g37x owner
Just picked this baby up a week or so ago, 75k miles and bone stock except for the grounding kit I just installed. Next up is a TCM flash and then hotchkis sways :)

Better get aftermarket end links. Just found one of my rear end links broken. Some say if you're not lowered, you're okay. I drove eight months on stock springs with no problem. The link broke some time after I installed coil-overs.

Congrats & welcome to the site, looks like a clean X coupe there. I also broke a front end link, but that was when I lowered my G too.

Moogs sometimes don't fit lowered cars with aftermarket sway bars. There's a stickied thread in the suspension forum about this.

There is another company that makes a more robust replacement end link, but I can't remember the name. |
Sorry, I meant the rear Moog end links.
|
My point still stands, I wouldn't preemptively replace the end links because of swaybars or lowering springs, and even then, OEM equivalent is fine. You could replace the Moogs 3x for the price of SPLs.
I only replaced the fronts trying to diagnose a clunk, which turned out to be hollow bushings. MAS is the other manufacture of end links I was thinking of. Feel free to PM me to debate end links instead of taking OP any further off topic :) |
I didn't replace mine but found one was broken yesterday. It was fine before the coil-overs went in. The sway end socket cracked and the bar pulled the ball and bolt right out to disappear who-knows-where. Have SPC adjustable spherical end links on the way.

Thanks for the info guys, I'll probably get the bushings since ill be under there taking it apart anyway, F it why not right? lol

https://www.zspeedperformance.com/SP...SPL-FE-Z34.htm And OEM equivalent are 1/3 of the price :dunno: I wouldn't replace them unless you have an issue. Lowered for 40K with no issues, and sways for almost 60K with no issues on the OE endlinks. IDK, seems like a waste to me. |

Because they're $225

I think a TCM flash (ie tune) is a little more than $100 :)
