I brought my car to Infiniti's Dealership in Danvers last night for a rattling noise coming from inside the car. Everytime I ride over a crack in the road or a pothole, I hear a bump noise, sort of dull metal against dull metal. My friend who owns a 350z had the same problem and he said it was the sway bar links that were rusted out. After Nissan replaced it for him the noise disappeared. I told Infiniti about my problem and they said alright, drop it off and we'll take a look at it. As for mods on the car, I have tein cs's, which I didn't think would be a problem since it rode fine. They call back insisting on charging me 45 just to look at the car, which I agree on. Guess waht they just called and now they say they didn't find any problems with the sway bar or suspension, but just said since my car is so much stiffer than stock, there will be noise, which they cannot locate and offered charging me 90 dollars an hour just to find the noise. BS. Now I'm stuck with the noise and a wallet minus 45 dollars. Any suggestions?

Any of you experience the same noise? Did you get it fixed?

I mean dammit, I didn't even drop the car all the way. I have about 1.5 in clearance all around (from the top of the tire).

 

mmmmmmmmm, i know what noise you are talking about, i brought mine in today too but since its a brand new car, they didnt charge me, i guess i gota wait till teh end of the day or next week since they did say they need to keep my car to order parts, i'll let you know wat exactly made the noise if they tell me, since i'm geting it dont with my wallet not missing 45 dollars.

 

"sort of dull metal against dull metal"

Does it happen when you go over a bump or an incline?
