Suspension Noise- Can't figure it out
I have been having a rattling noise coming from around the passenger side front of my car for a while now, and I can't figure out what it is.
Symptoms: It sounds like something is loose or rattling whenever I go over bumps. It's most noticeable over smaller bumps, like driving over train tracks or pulling into a driveway. I don't really notice it over speed bumps. It's also far more pronounced when the bump is only on that side of the car (like driving over a manhole cover with that wheel). I have already replaced all 4 struts, I have a new aftermarket swaybar set, and I have removed the undertray and it's none of those things. I did install some polyurethane compression rod bushings about a year and a half ago, and spraying WD-40 on them today didn't make the sound go away either. I also had the passenger side wheel bearing replaced and I doubt they would have reconnected all that stuff if something there was loose. I don't know for certain, but I also want to say that I think I can feel it through the steering. Any ideas? |
Prob compression rod ball joint

When you installed the sway bar set did that include new end links? or was yours still in good condition it could be that
|
It didn't include new endlinks, but I had a shop install the front one for me. I would think they would have let me know if the front ones were shot...

Are you lowered? Even though you replaced the shocks you could possibly have a blown one. Usually the bushing inserts end up making a creaking sound...not so much a rattle...at least not that I have experienced. Not sure about the G35's though

sounds like your passenger compression rod or the lower control arm bushings.
