I have an 07 6MT Coupe and I live in Montreal...which means our roads are very bad.

My car has 61k miles ( 98 000km ) and starting this spring after hitting many potholes I'm hearing a slight rattle in both front wheels, but only when I hit a pothole or bump in the road.

Before I go to the dealership up here I would like to order some parts that I have to replace anyways and I wanted to know what you guys think the usual culprits might be.

I was thinking of buying tie rods & ball joints.

What else do you guys recommend ?

did you check the shocks?

It could be anything, but the swaybars/endlinks are the easiest part to rule out. Take them off and see if the noise persists. Be warned that with no front bar the car will oversteer.

Bushings - especially the Compression Rod bushings. Are your front tires showing any excess wear, especially on the inside part of the tread?

I'm thinking it's the bushings too now.

Which ones should I replace ?

Does the G35 have lower & upper control arms ? Are there 4 bushings per side ? or only 2 ?

Which brand do you guys recommend ? I read some good stuff about 'Whiteline'

Thanks!

i had a clunking noise when hitting bumps at slow speeds and the first time it was the end links and second time is was the brake caliper slide pins needed grease.

I live in QUEBEC and I have similar symptoms on my x 2008...Roads are very bad here!
Let us know rmeman

I just picked up an 04 coupe and it has the same problem too. It makes the clunking noise when it goes over small thing like sewer cap or bumps. Let us know if you fix your rmeman. Thanks

These are the bushings required for the front.

They have Manufacturer id: W52988 W52991 W52992

I ordered all 3 ( kit comes for left/right ) from eBay and it was around 160$.

I will let you guys know if the noise goes away.
