Hi all, I hoping someone can help me figure out where the loud and super annoying rear end noise is coming from on my 2003 G35 sedan . The driver's side rear wheel/brake area makes a very lound creaking/squeaking/groaning noise only when I am coming to a stop. When I reverse the car and do it - there is no noise. The creaking sound only happens when the car is warmed up and has been driven for about 20 mins. I have taken it in to get looked at and have had the rotors and pads changed a few times, the wheel bearings changed, backing plate fixed... nothing seems to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Ive been experiencing the same problem, i have an 05 g35 coupe. Just recently i took it in to get new brake pads and got the rotors resurfaced evrything was fine at first but now i hear this creaking/clicking noise coming from the rear drivers side brake. its hard to tell it kinda sounds as if the it were the suspension creaking but it only happens when im braking at low speeds and only when im driving forward never in reverse. i noticed the problem the night i took it to a local carwash, at first i thought it had just gotten wet and it was the usual noise however its been 2 weeks so being wet is out of the question. if anyone has any suggestions please let us know. thnx

My 04 sedan is doing the same thing. When I stop and pull the parking brake up it creaks pretty bad when I get out of the car, it creaks more. Last winter I replaced the shocks and coils with revised 350Z coils and Tokico Blues and didn't notice any noise. Had it aligned early summer too. Now when I come to a stop I can hear the passenger rear grind a little. This might be because I didn't resurface my rotors though.

^^ So your problem was solved with new shocks? if so ima get coils.. im hating this damn noise.

No, my noise came a while after I replaced the shocks and springs. I read that there are a few nuts that can come loose under the rear seats. Not sure if this is the same issue though.

No, that's unrelated.

Wheel bearing?
