Hi I just bought a 05 sedan 6mt. The previous owner lowered the car on some unknown springs. Took it to the shop to get the suspension checked cause I can hear something that sounds like a 'flat tire sound' rolling at low speeds that is synchonized with the speed acceleration/decceleration of the car. Turns out the 2 lower control arm inner bushings and the compression rod bushings are messed up and the left motor mount needs to be replaced. Anyone recommend some brands to use for these bushings?

 

Good luck finding anything but stock. Contact Riverside Infiniti and talk to Tony. Mention G35Driver and see if they can hook you up with a good price.

I would also look to the wheel bearing as possibly being the cause of the noise.

 

To be honest, hit up autozone or your local sports store. I remember replacing a set of LCA bushings with I believe theyre called Energy Suspension? Got them from my shop for 40 bucks.

 

get Whiteline, Strafe a vendor on here has an account w/them.

 

I'm opting for the polyurethane bushings for the durability so the whiteline sounds good. Know if they make any more noise than OEM?

 

i have them on my front lower control arms and they're AWESOME, no noise here.

 

Does Whiteline make compression rod bushings? Hmm, looked at their thread and it looks like they do. I will go for these, when needed, now that I know they make them.

 

I think they make the LCA bushings, havent seen the compression rod bushings. I think Im gonna get the metal ones by SPL. Dont really care for comfort I just want better response.
