Still a lot of money, though. You'd think it would be a two hour job at a Nissan shop. Maybe that includes an alignment and a blow job?
Yeah parts and labor. HAHA no blow and no alignment. I'll have to check around or look back at some threads and get some friends to help with install.

something else

Now I'm getting a hard "clunk" on the passenger side when I go over bumps. Everything is still tight and snug. It just started today. I been riding good for 3 straight days. What could I be missing now?

Could be your Passenger side motor mount!

Could also simply be his exhaust banging on the underside, which is a situation that will creep up on your as your engine torque mount bushings get old.

So I've read this whole thread a few times. But I'm still confused about if those FCP parts are of good quality. My car has that "jerky steering" but it also has a clunky noise on the right side so I think it might be the ball joint 2. I think it needs new everything. But I don't want to replace them and then 1 year later have to replace it all again. Because I plan on keeping this car for awhile, I would rather just replace it, instead of just replacing the "bushings on the controls arms" and then 6 months later my inner tie rods go bad or whatever. Might as well just do it all in 1 day and not worry about it again. For another 10 years.

If I went the other route and went the energy suspension route. Where would be the best place to buy the control arms from? I don't see them on the website. It would be $340 dollars for all that stuff without the control arms so far on the energy suspension website.
