Hope this helps

p.s. Part number was taken from Middle East Spec Z (not sure if it's the same as the USDM)
Seems like this part was also the problem area for some 350Z's pulling to the right. I believe there was a TSB on this issue as well, concerning replacing the compression rod with a updated rod design to fix the problem.

You may have to execute a few of them to get any real results…

I have what sounds like a very similar clunk noise coming from my front right side in my '08 350 when I go over speed bumps. I have been to the dealer 3 times now, and no luck with fixing it. I was just wondering if you ever got yours fixed, and if so, what the problem was?

Thanks

I went through this for almost 3 years until they replaced the (forgive my mechanical ignorance) strut? There was something at the top that had come disconnected and would smack metal when the shock was compressed. After that, it was gone. Then I traded the damn thing. Beautiful car but way too many issues.
