Another Compression Rod Thread
I finally got tired of hearing my right front wheel sound like an old shopping cart every time I went up my gravel driveway. So I debated whether to replace the CR bushing or the whole rod. I ended up buying a new rod from an Infiniti dealer on e-bay. I'm glad I did. It turned out that the bushing was OK. The ball joint was shot. Now the G is it's old self.
Except, now I can hear the left front wheel bearing going out. It howls on fast right handers.

I think this is the route I am going to end up going. I'm just not sure where the best place to purchase them would be. Or, if I can do the install myself. Everything I've read makes me think it is possible to do so.

Well, i was wrong - my compression rod ball joint is fine. After replacing I know that this is not the cause. I have nothing else to swap.
I have changed...LCA bushings, shocks, springs, shock mounts, lower ball joints, compression rod, a-arms, a-arm ball joint, end links...
sounds to me like a spring compressing at weird times, but i can't isolate it

Did you ever find the problem? I'm getting a light "pop-like" clunk from my passenger side when I brake at low speeds.. I just replaced my CR bushings with energy. My lower ball joints are leaking pretty bad so I'm hoping its those, but you said it didn't help yours. I REALLY don't wanna do the CRs again so I hope its not those ball joints. I hate chasing suspension sounds.
Recently replaced LCA (main and strut mount) bushings, CR bushings, upper control arms (kinetix v2), shocks, struts, springs (eibach pro), and soon the steering knuckle joints. Thanks for any insight.
