Sorry in advance if a post of this same issue has already been posted.
I have been searching around but I can't find any that relate to my issue.

I have an 06 350z, just on lowering springs and some 18x10 xxr rims.

My car hasn't given me any issues, but yesterday I was driving and Everytime I step on the brakes at a red light , when pushing the brake slightly in I get this "clunk" sound and it's harder when I release the brake pedal.

I took it to a mechanic and I noticed that when he jacked it up, you can move the wheel side to side even with the lug nuts still on it (passenger side) .. He didn't say anything about that but I've heard that's an issue.

He did point out that a bushing looked broken in half, I'm gonna try to post up a picture of it, it's not that clear but I think it's the lower control arm bushing.

When I drive over bumps it's annoying ,it almost sounds like my wheel is dangling...

And that "clunk" sound happens Everytime I step on the brakes and let go of the brakes..

I just wanna make sure I get the right part since I'm on a budget :/

Someone said it could be any of these,,a caliper issue, lower control arm bushing, shock blown, brake pads loose.

Has anyone had this issue?


Thanks in advance.

 

Here's another pic

 

Yep LCA bushing. Look into Whiteline or Energy Suspension as replacements.

 

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Greatly appreciated.

 

Check your wheel hub assembly too!

 

So got the lower control arm taken care of, wheel doesn't wiggle aaa much anymore. But can someone tell me if this looks like the ball joint is done, needs replacing ASAP. I still get this clunk sound even after I changed the lower control arm.. :/

 

This is the driver side aswell. Doesn't look as bad as the passenger one tho

 

Can you Update on how you fix the lower ball joint????
