Why OEM Suspension Parts Matter
Suspension components determine your vehicle's ride quality, handling precision, tire wear patterns, and alignment geometry. Aftermarket parts may fit your vehicle but are not engineered to the same spring rate, damper valving, bushing durometer, and ball joint articulation range as the original components. On performance-oriented INFINITI models like the Q50 Sport and G37 Sport, aftermarket replacements produce noticeably different handling from the factory-intended setup.
For AWD INFINITI models including the QX60, QX50, and QX80, suspension geometry changes caused by incorrect component specifications can affect the AWD torque distribution calibration, increasing wear on the transfer case and driveshaft components over time. Genuine OEM parts maintain the geometry the AWD system was calibrated around.
Sport vs Base — The Critical Fitment Distinction
Multiple INFINITI models were offered with Sport trim using different spring rates and damper valving from base trim. Sport-specific suspension components carry different OEM part numbers. Installing base suspension components on a Sport model results in noticeably softer handling than the original factory setup. Always confirm your trim level when ordering front struts, rear shock absorbers, or control arm assemblies. Enter your VIN at checkout to automatically confirm Sport or base fitment.
OEM Suspension Parts by Model
- INFINITI QX60 — Front lower control arms, front struts, rear shock absorbers, sway bar links, and tie rod ends for both first generation (2013–2021) and second generation (2022–present). First-generation lower control arm bushing wear is a documented high-mileage issue at 80,000–100,000 miles.
- INFINITI Q50 — Sport trim uses different spring and damper specifications from the base model. Confirm trim level before ordering front struts or rear shocks. Red Sport 400 uses additional suspension upgrades with unique OEM part numbers.
- INFINITI G37 — Sport Package G37 uses upgraded front struts and rear shock absorbers with different specifications and part numbers from base trim. Coupe and sedan share most suspension components but confirm body style for subframe-mounted components.
- INFINITI QX50 — Second-generation QX50 (2019–2024) uses an independent rear suspension with specific part numbers not interchangeable with first-generation components.
- INFINITI QX80 — Full-frame body-on-frame construction with independent front suspension. Front upper and lower control arms, front stabilizer bar links, and rear leaf spring components available.
Most Commonly Ordered Suspension Parts
- Front Lower Control Arms — The most frequently ordered suspension item across multiple INFINITI models. QX60 first-generation control arm bushing wear is a known high-mileage issue. Most control arms are sold as complete assemblies including bushings and ball joints for a complete one-step repair.
- Front Strut Assemblies — Complete OEM strut assemblies for all models. Sport and base trim variants use different specifications — always confirm trim level before ordering.
- Rear Shock Absorbers — QX60 rear shocks and Q50 rear shock absorbers are among our highest-volume suspension items.
- Sway Bar Links — Front and rear stabilizer bar links. High-wear item at higher mileage, particularly in northern markets with road salt exposure.
- Tie Rod Ends — Outer and inner tie rod ends for all INFINITI models. Worn tie rods are a common cause of front-end alignment drift and uneven tire wear.
- Wheel Bearings and Hub Assemblies — Front and rear hub assemblies for all models. AWD models use hub assemblies specific to the driven axle configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do INFINITI QX60 lower control arms wear out?
The first-generation INFINITI QX60 (2013–2021) is known for front lower control arm bushing wear, typically becoming noticeable between 80,000 and 100,000 miles. Symptoms include clunking sounds over bumps, imprecise steering feel, and accelerated tire wear on the inside edge. The complete lower control arm assembly is typically replaced rather than just the bushings. INFINITI of Akron stocks complete OEM lower control arm assemblies for all first-generation QX60 model years.
Are INFINITI Sport suspension parts different from base model parts?
Yes, on models where Sport trim was offered. The INFINITI Q50 Sport, G37 Sport, and G37 Sport Package use suspension components with different spring rates and damper valving from base models. These Sport-specific components carry different OEM part numbers. Installing base suspension on a Sport model results in noticeably softer handling than the original setup. Always confirm your trim level when ordering struts, shocks, or suspension assemblies.
How do I confirm suspension fitment for my INFINITI?
Enter your 17-digit VIN at checkout for the most precise fitment confirmation. The VIN encodes your model year, body style, trim level, and drivetrain — all of which affect suspension specifications on INFINITI models. For Sport trim variants like the Q50 Sport and G37 Sport, confirming trim is especially important as Sport suspension components carry different OEM part numbers from base trim.
Does INFINITI of Akron ship suspension parts to all 50 states?
Yes. We ship genuine OEM INFINITI suspension parts to all 50 states with free standard shipping on orders over $150. Most in-stock orders ship same or next business day from our Akron, Ohio warehouse and the Nissan Parts Distribution Center.
Can I replace just the bushings on my INFINITI control arm or do I need the whole assembly?
On most INFINITI models, the control arm bushings are pressed into the arm and require specialized press equipment to swap. Most repair shops and dealerships replace the complete control arm assembly rather than just the bushings — it is faster, more reliable, and ensures the new bushing is properly seated. INFINITI of Akron supplies complete OEM control arm assemblies that include the bushings and ball joint as a ready-to-install unit.
