Squeaky Suspension

I have an 03 G35 Sedan 6mt. Within the past 3 or 4 months the suspension has begun to squeak and creak anytime I flex the suspension, make a turn or even get out of the car (I'm only weighing in at 190 lbs so it not like a whole lot of weight is coming off the suspension). Is there something I can apply to the bushings or anything to stop the sound? Thanks!

There are bunches of topics about it... it's a common problem with our cars. In most cases it's the compression rods... do a search - there's lots of info - more than I can type here...

Just had my compression rods replaced yesterday on my 2004 G35x. Was done under warranty. Took care of 90% of the squeaks, although I still seem to have a bit coming from the back.

It could be the rear connecting rod to the sway bar end link... they replaced mine but I had more of a "clunk" in the rear rather than squeak… you might have them replace and see if it fixed your problem…

+100 on the compression rods. I had the same problem and the dealer took care of it and replaced them.
