Mine both fell apart on a car with 800 miles on it. I re-greased them and put them all back together - no issues.I installed my swift springs. I've installed coilovers and hr springs on my 370z before. Both front shock bearings fell apart but I had ordered 2 strut mounts. I had to use a crowbar to get the rear control arm hole to align. But when I got to my other control arm, I couldn't get it to align. I tried to loosen the alignment bolt but my breaker bar didn't have room underneath the jack stands. I think I spent about 2 hours and around midnight I got the last bolt in. I was too tired to put the wheels back on and take it for a drive. I took it for a drive this morning and everything is good.
The back is a pain - you have to jack up the arm slowly and get the shock bolt in first. Then you use a pry bar between the spindle and shock to gently move it into place to get the bolt in. I laid on the ground on my side to get a good view.
