Hello,
New member here looking to see if anyone has figured out the "Clunking factor" with these cars? I've had this Clunking sound for about five thousand miles so for. I had the sway bar bushings and end pieces replaced but the noise is still there. The mechanic says the Struts seem to be okay, but now the noise sounds even louder with every bump and pothole. Any results from some of you guys going through this also.

Compression rod bushings failed. Common problem. Stay tuned for a good aftermarket solution in the next few weeks.

 

Vinco,
Thanks for the update... now I'm looking at the front wheel bearing assembly and hub. Does anybody know if they make an aftermarket product for this?

 

Aftermarket part for hub/bearing should be available at your local parts store. If a used one would be acceptable, then try online at car-part.com A 350Z one would work just fine as well as a G35 one.

 

I've been dealing with the clunk/wobble/pop noise on my drivers side. I've also replaced the endlinks and sway bushings since they were the cheapest wear items to start with and it seems to have gotten worse with time.

From what I gather, it can be the lower control arm bushing, strut mounts, compression rods. I wish I knew exactly what it was, I dont want to just throw money at it.

I have had my compression rods replaced before, so I dont think they are the problem. They didnt make this clunking noise when they went bad, rather a squeaking/creaking noise.
