squeakin noise coming from front end..

hi guys... i am not sure if it's just my illusion or its really happening.. but it seems like sometimes (not very often) if i try to make a turn (especially left turn) slowly.. the front end suspension would make this weird squeaking sound.....

now i am not sure if its simply because i was turning my steering wheel too slow that the tires were rubbing the ground or something else..

i have a 04 G35 Coupe 5AT...

can anybody give me some ideas...?!?!?

I know some guys have had the compression rods replaced to resolve this.

Happens to me but in the rear suspension. Mostly when I park in the garage, there is the slightest inline and when you set the brake and the car settles back it creaks and again as I start to back out slowly from the garage. Kind of embarassing if the neighbors hear it, sounds like a rusty old bag of bolts then.

This first occured last spring and service simply lubed up something back there. Was ok all last summer and through the winter but come this spring it is happening again and I will mention it next time I go in.

In your case it may be the sway bar bushings that needed to be regreased....

If it's not the compression rods, it could be the bushings on the anti-roll bar(s).....

Mine does the same thing.
Annoying.
Front end when I pull into my drive or over small curb.

Mainly coming from the passenger side when driving fast on the twisties.

Are compression rods covered in the warranty?

Yup, to 100 000 Km or time. I got my rt. side done at 110 km and paid a third ( $200 ) as goodwill. My sound was more of a klump than a squeek.
