odd front strut noise
#137
Dang. Paragraphs are your friends.
I replaced my rear endlinks a long time ago to get rid of some creaking, if your compression rod bushings are good or have been replaced, changing the front end links is a very reasonable and pretty inexpensive route to take in order to solve the problem.

There are two bushings right? How easy are they to install? I haven't really looked at them before.

I installed two new endlinks today, but the noise remains. I did not get to do the bushings as I semi stripped one bolt and the dealer does not have any replacements, so I decided not to mess with it.
I am off to my shop to see what they say. Ill ask them to try to loosen and re tighten the bolt on the strut and see how that goes.

Sorry I missed your post from before. Are you talking about the sway bar bushings? IIRC, there are 3 bolts per side on the brackets holding them in. Best way to remove is using a torque gun. I want to say those are also 17mm bolts? Lube those suckers good with some lithium grease.
I just realized the 14mm socket I bought back in 09 was a 12 point, so it slipped on the nut, I decided not to mess with it, I already junked my 12 point and replaced it with a 6pt.
The Endlinks are 17mm

I have a 2005 g35x. I purchased the Whiteline endlinks for the 350z/g35 and they don't seem to fit. The bolt on the lower control arm is too fat to fit through the spherical bearing. Did I get the wrong kit or am I stuck with factory? I am rolling pretty low on BC coilovers and have a helleva sound coming from the front end when i roll over dips. Also, has anyone with the front end clunk/wham sound had SPC upper a arms? I think that may be my problem. I replaced my lower control arm bushings, my radius arm bushings, my lower ball joint on the lower control arm.
