Front End Sqeak. 2008 g35x Eibach

Good afternoon Ladies and Gents,

I did use the search button, got some good info but many of those threads have not been closed out with results. Whilst reading the world wide web i notices that the V35 model had compression bushing that needed to be replaced. On the V36 forums I noticed that the sway bar bushings needed to either be replaced or upgraded or oiled.

I lowered my car in September with Eibach Pro kit, used. The front sits lower than rear, and is a bit rough. I have about 116k miles on the car and roughly 6-7k after the install. It started squeaking only after the winter started. I am in Maryland no snow yet but the temperature has been 65-20f.

Any help would be great.

I fixed my front squeak by replacing the sway bar bushings (lubing them didn't help). They are relatively inexpensive and quite easy to do, and after as many miles as your car has, they surely could use replacement. Being that you've lowered the car, it could be something completely different, but I'd start there and see if that didn't fix it for you.

You've gotta list what you have changed out so far.

Also, alignment specs would be helpful if you've got them. If not that's cool, but if you've changed any parts in your suspension, it would be helpful for us to try and diagnose your prob.

Also, when it tends to do it most (I.e. left turns, right turns, over bumps or uneven road, temps at which its most noticeable, etc.)

Alignment is in with-in factory specs. I had it done after I installed the eibach springs. That is the only thing i have installed. I have not replaced any other parts. The front end of the car squeaks when i go over speed bumps, or deflection in suspension movement.

Do you have the part number for the front Sway bar bushing? Do you know if it works for the 08G35X?

This is the part number i found for the g35x on infinitipartsusa.com : #54613JK50B-1442053-195901.

The bushings used for the AWD cars is indeed different than the one for the RWD that I showed in the link above.

The number you need is: 54613-JK50B

Just did that, it didn't work. What's next? Control arm bushing?
