I need help: suspension!
#16
the tie rod its self, it is connected to the rack and pinion it is covered by a boot. the bearing should not be able to move by your hands, that is if you completly removed it. If you can, it is bad and will cause it to wiggle left and right.

When did this sound start occuring? Was it right after installing something on the car?
Why not just take to a shop tomorrow? The issue could a whole slew of things, but I highly doubt it's a rotor or wheel bearing. My guess is it's upper control arm or something in the lower control arm assembly. I'd jack the entire front end of the car up and remove both wheels and start inspecting the driver's side and compare anything odd to the passenger side just as a check/balance. I'd use a small pry bar or large screwdriver to move things around.
Seriously though, it's only a car. It's nothing to get worried or upset about. As cars get older, things start to wear, especially suspension. You can't expect everything to last forever. The issue is likely a relatively easy fix.

the noise kept gettin worse over time, i had horrible alignment for the winter and it was messing up my tires and also my shocks were bad so i changed them to coupe ones as well as changed my brakes too. it was happening before that.
why are the vdc slip light on turn on after like 10 minutes of driving??
could it be about the alignment

as far as the VDC light, check your brake fluid.

they were before 225 50 17
and now the front ones are 215 55 17 since thursday and the back ones wil be chaned to 215 55 17 next week, but this was happening way before these tires i got this past weekend.
Ok guys went to get an alignment done and they did a free survey for me and said it was the bottom tie rod and and also the inner end too, but i dont think it was the inner once since its fine when turning so im ordering the outer tie rod tomorrow 30 bucks and he couldnt find the problem at first cause he had only one side picked up at frist and once he had both sides of the G in the air it was a different story, you can tell under the car so easy there was play on the tire rod ball joing
and hopefully will solve the problem get an alignment and will be happy w/ the G35 once again! i love my car still but its just so frusturating when you can figure it out.!

I hope it is just cost $30 to fix your problem, my "inner ends" for my eclipse ( yes i have an eclipse, dont judge me. lol its clean and not riced out) was $250for parts.
