Hello,

I have this very annoying clicking/clunky noise coming from both wheels when I apply the brakes the first few minutes of driving. It goes away after it happens a few times. It seemed to start up after I replaced my brakes and rotors last year. I recently replaced both compression rods, lower control arms, and tie rods and the sound is still there. I plan on replacing the sway bar end links in the near future. Below is a video of what it sounds like (not my video). Could this be the end links or is it a bigger issue?

 

Could be end links, but I had the same thing not too long ago and discovered that one of my upper control arm bolts was actually backing out.

If I were you, I would go through and tighten every suspension bolt: end links, shock mounts (top and bottom), comp rods, chassis brace, LCA to chassis, etc. I was surprised at how many bolts were loose when I did that. I'm wondering if it's cuz of the forged wheels rattling the **** out of the bolts. It's a very stiff ride; gonna have to start going thru and putting locktite everywhere.

 

^^^ That

Also check ball joints, and upper control arms.

 

Still haven't found the issue. Had a mechanic look everything over after me. He did however replace the passenger side ball joint since it was loose. It's a small world, while searching this issue further, I found the creator of the linked YouTube video on g35driver. Here is a link to his thread: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...ing-sound.html

Unfortunately, it looks like no resolution was found. I'm starting to think it's the damn rotors I bought... mine look identical to the set in the video (I bought powerstop k2710).

 

Just wanted to update that replacing both lower ball joints got rid of the noise completely.

 

good; glad you found it. Those clunks can be annoying af, not to mention dangerous.
