Help please- major clunking ?!

[jutn35]

This started 2 days ago. Every time I accelerate, i hear a clunking noise coming from either the left or right wheel well , or under the hood. Im taking it to the dealers next week . But can anyone pinpoint this as well to bring me a little peace of mind, would really appreciate it.

Im experiencing the same problem, Im pretty sure its the compression rods.

[jutn35]

GAH !!! i think i remember my mechanic saying that too me at my last check up when i got my rear bushings replaced, thankyou but any other opinions are welcomed too

compression rods are gonna set you back like $1000?

[mistasleepi]

1000 ouch

[jutn35]

No , maybe around 500 , i read around and i heard for each the left and right compression rod are 150 $ , my tech at infiniti might go easy on me for labor i take my car only to him.

[jutn35]

Well i got it fixed at Tustin INFINITI for $ 350
250 for the parts and 100 for labor, and it was the compression rods

so if you hear clunking or popping noises , thats it

Thanks "D

Hey guys, I'm experiencing this vibration noise, like a wheel bearing noise, but it's like a clunking noise. So it's the compression rods?

[jutn35]

does it pop/clunk at random moments of driving or going over bumps. bc my mechanic said our cars are notorious for crappy compression rods.

[G35-R]

it's not random, very consistent...thought it was the tires, had the tire store put on new ones...but the noise is still there.....it's intermittent thumping....like there's a bald spot...but the alightment is good, steering is steady....anyone have any ideas?

hmmm , hard call . if you have connections at the dealers or auto shop, ahve them check it out, but if its a clunking , like metal on metal, my best bet is compression rods
