2003 Infiniti G35 Front Suspension Replacement
If you need two front suspension replacements for a 2003 Infiniti G35, the terminology matters less than selecting the correct parts and understanding the installation. These front replacements involve the spring-and-damper assembly, so this is not simply an external shock swap with no spring handling.
Identify the exact front application
The front units are described as struts in the application question, with Bilstein and KYB referenced as choices. Use the exact vehicle configuration and front position when selecting parts. Do not buy solely on the word strut or shock, since catalog terminology can vary. Confirm that both selected units form the correct left-and-right replacement pair for the car.
Allow for spring transfer
The installation described requires removing the springs while exchanging the dampers. That means the replacement should not be assumed to include a new spring or arrive as a complete preassembled package. Spring compression and release require suitable equipment and safe procedures. Ask the installer to check the mounts, spring seats, protective boots, and other reusable components while the assemblies are apart.
Include alignment in the job plan
Plan an alignment after installing the front replacements. When comparing quotes, include the parts, assembly work, any worn components found during inspection, and alignment rather than looking at the damper price alone. If the G35 has lowering springs or other suspension modifications, disclose them before choosing replacements. A product suited to the original setup should not automatically be assumed compatible with altered ride height.
