I have a 1996 Infinity I30 with 264,000 miles. I have changed the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles. I wanted to replace the shocks and springs, control arm and tie rods. I chose Moog because a mechanic I know chose the company. I got the shocks in and they are 1/2" short along with the springs. Is it ok to use these or should I go back to infinity and pay 5 times as much for a 2 year warranty. Doesn't it change the camber along with the handling and the ride height? i had this problem before when I just changed one shock in the front. one side of the car was lower than the other. I had to go back to infinity.
My car has 264000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
