Like from the A/C vents? Haha ooorrr the tailpipe? Carbon coming out of your rear end usually means yer burning oil. The water is just condensation. What year is it?

Hmm, that's unusual for an 04. Be sure to keep an eye on your oil levels and post back if it starts burning at a fast rate.

OK so I got oem front sway bar installed and new end-links, the clunking sound is 80% gone when going over bumps, But there is still a clunky sound when I hit cracks on the road or bumps and the car shifts to the side if I hit a bump going avg speed. Could this be compression rod bushings? can I tell by looking at them? and how much would it cost to get them replaced roughly?

Thanks (sorry about all the questions..should have looked at the car more when buying)

I actually need an alignment, I didn't get one after I got new lower control arms. I have an appointment for next Saturday. Could that be the problem?

To pulling over uneven roads yes. But the remaining clunk may be compression rods. Mines clunk when there r small pits or drop offs when the suspension has to drop and compress in a short time.

The Energy Suspension Compression Rod Bushing Kit seems like a good product instead of getting oem.
I might order that and see how much labor will cost.
Thanks

Energy suspension is the worst according to reviews and write ups. I did many readings before settling with Armstrong bushings. They are 1 piece urethane and so far so good. I have that same clunking noise from driver side and after the new bushing install the clunking quieted down but was still there. I decided to toe out front driver wheel as it looked off to pinpoint the problem and it went away. maybe alignment issues... maybe something else. I returned to my original settings and the clunking returned. Weird but just something I encountered.

So far I would do Armstrong,Nismo, or oem. There is another company out there but I have yet to get my hands on them. Still trying to work a package deal with them as it will be shipping internationally and so far as I know it no one in the states are running them.

Wait, energy is the worst as far as you've "read", but you still have a clunk with the Armstrong? I actually have energys on my G and they are awesome. They have corrected my caster problems and they have the same NVH as stock rubber bushings and they have also tightened up my steering. Not sure why you would endorse a product that doesn't solve your problem and then talk bad about a product that you know nothing about.
