for the last week i have been having a strange noise everytime a make a turn on a ramp or hump. i checked some resources and i figured my shocks or springs are shot.

so will this repair be covered by the warranty? i only have 7000 miles on my car, i really baby my G, try to avoid bumpy roads, ect. it just seems unfair for shocks to be gone so fast.

 

7 years 100k is very optimistic! Why the 4 year 60k warranty on non powertrain items.

Most shocks will be noticeably less stiff on rebound and the bushings will have changed from ozone/salt/ heat combo exposure.........but they won't have failed in warranty terms........why there are no published specs for shocks. Wheels are probably out of spec, same with wheel hubs/bearings.......things are starting to stress bend [shock towers] suspension members.

By 60k/4 years lots of things are not acting as brand new! And should be changed at your expense to return to that brand new feeling. Just like the 2nd or 3rd set of tires, brakes, rotors...........motor mounts tranny mounts, sway bar bushings, suspension arms [the bushing inside].......spring isolation rubber seats.

Why a used 60k car is only worth ~~40% of new MSRP more or less and a 100k one is ~~10-20%. $10,000 worth of things [with replacement labor] are nearing end of life.

The G35 could last 300,000 miles if enough new parts are replaced but at some point the engine tranny dif, driveshaft, AC, ps, rack fails, 2nd-3rd fuel pump.
