hard to say but i would think a little of both. Did you get it address right away with a replacement boot? I heard front axles on a g35x is VERY VERY pricey but i saw FX35 front axles and they are normal price at under $100.

Rebooting is about $35-50 in parts VS replacing a axle at $300'. Labor is still the same.

 

Yep, least i'm not on rubberbands. I got decent 45/40 sidewalls to cushion it some.

Side note, anyone have shots of a X dropped on all coupe front and rear? I just picked up a set.

Maybe i'll just trade my coils for some cash+ AWD sways.

 

I haven't done anything about it yet. I was waiting until summer so I can do it in my garage at home (going to school 5 hours away) hopefully I didn't wait too long. It's probably been 1000-1200 miles since I noticed it.

 

Turtle, I hear ya...

I love being dropped on coils, makes me happy everytime I look at my car.. BUT I can't see myself swapping out every winter..

I am not even "slammed", I have a 1 finger gap if even that.. But Chicago streets can be pretty damn unfriendly to your car..

Does anyone else find themselves cringing/pressing left food against floor when you think you are about to bottom out? Yeah, gets old.

Keep us updated, I will be interested to see what route you take....

 

Just blew my right said CV joint/axle after being lowered for a month. You can find refurbished left fronts pretty easily for about $70-$100 if you really dig. Right side is a whole other story.... took me almost three full days of looking and finally for a place that had 3..... NOBODY has the right side fronts!! When I checked locally the only place that had the right front was the steelership at the ripe rate of $750 and that was just the part.

 

As for the CV boot, I think someone swapped their ones with a subaru one and its more flexible. It somewhere in this thread. Yes it most likely has to do with lowering since the axle are at a different angle.

 

this is about the only time i'll be mad when i'm being rubbed and tugged while driving.

and then i see what looks like RUST forming

 

ok guys can anyone point me in the right direction im having issues finding some shocks for my 06 g35x any help will be greatly appreciated

 

I'm selling my custom KONI shocks built by TRUE-CHOICE. The front shocks are 16-way adjustable (soft-hard). Let me know if you're interested.

 

I'm interested if he's not...lol..pm me more info

 

Respect to Gtz1stballer92.. I've been dreamin about those wheels for months, wondering how they would look on my black 06x.. I pull up next to this G37 at school every damn day wanting to leave his ish on bricks.. or at least leave him my stocks..lol.. They look Great man!!!.. deciding between those or something with a serious lip on it...

 

I started getting a quiet clunking noise while going over bumps. front driver side. At first it was only making noise on large bumps now it clunks on smaller bumps in the road.

How did you guys figure out the CV boot went?
I looked around but can't replicate the sound, I also took the car to my longtime mechanic he said he can't pin point it either..???????

 

a CV boot is DEAD obvious, because you will see a torn boot. Once the boot is torn, it has a time frame to go before it dries up, once it dries then you will clunk and noises. So most likely its not that.

I dont have any issues over bumps other then my A arm BANGING the body of the car but that is over BIG bumps and its a POP/ THUD.

 

^^^ Hmmm thx Turtle, it is driving me nuts...

Any other ideas guys? It is a somewhat quiet and consistent noise that sounds like a rubber bushing has gone bad......?

 

Blown front shock or compression rod bushing is worn out.
