I have an 8 yr. old infiniti which has never caused me any problems. It now needs a new alternator. I had the battery checked and I take it to a reliable mechanic where all the taxi cabs take their cars to. How much can I expect to pay? a rough estimate please. and do I have to use an Infiniti alternator or one from the shop?
WRONG AGAIN,...how could a 3.5 liter motor have the same pistons and crank shaft as a 3.7 liter Infinity engine,...???

There as absolutely a huge difference in how a rear wheel drive sport sedan handles compared to mommies front driver,...!!!

So you are saying that a Lexus is just the same "crap" as a Toyota,...must be a lot of better of people out there, who are not as smart as you.

So the upshot was an alternator with a one year warranty for $220, labor at $75/hr= $135, plus taxes so roughly $400 or two sessions. lol.

I intend to so Thank you everyone, I have decided to go to my mechanic who charges 80 for labor and have him order the oem from the dealer and install. no rebuild because I want it to last. I appreciate all of the input. m
You made the right decision going with a rebuild. When you say you want it to last, do you plan on keeping your car for another 8 years? Because if that's the case, you may have to work overtime to keep up with the repairs (which sounds like fun), or you may get lucky and drive trouble free. :)

If you can just replace the "links", or even just the bushings, leave the anti-roll bars.
