The 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35 suspension system is compatible with specific OEM and aftermarket parts designed for this model. Key components include struts, shocks, springs, and control arms. Ensure parts match the vehicle's VIN for accuracy. Aftermarket options must meet or exceed OEM specifications, such as load capacity and ride height, to maintain performance and safety.

Q2

What maintenance is required for the Infiniti EX35 suspension system?

Regular maintenance for the Infiniti EX35 suspension includes inspecting struts, shocks, and bushings every 15,000-20,000 miles. Replace worn components like ball joints and control arms as needed. Lubricate suspension joints during oil changes. Alignment checks are recommended after replacing suspension parts or if uneven tire wear is noticed. Follow the manufacturer's service schedule for optimal performance.

Q3

How do I replace the suspension struts on a 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35?

To replace the suspension struts, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheels. Disconnect the sway bar link and brake line bracket. Unbolt the strut assembly from the steering knuckle and remove it from the vehicle. Compress the spring using a strut compressor tool, then replace the strut. Reassemble in reverse order, ensuring all bolts are torqued to factory specifications.

Q4

What are common suspension issues and how can I troubleshoot them?

Common suspension issues include noise, uneven tire wear, and poor handling. For noise, inspect bushings and mounts for wear. Uneven tire wear may indicate alignment issues or worn shocks. Poor handling can result from damaged struts or springs. Use a diagnostic scan tool to check for related error codes and visually inspect components for damage or leaks.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti EX35 suspension?

To optimize suspension performance, upgrade to high-performance shocks and springs for better handling and ride quality. Ensure proper alignment and tire pressure. Regularly inspect and replace worn components. Consider adding a sway bar for improved cornering stability. Use quality lubricants on suspension joints to reduce friction and wear.
