hi everyone,

i need some serious help. i've tried search and still cant find an answer. when i turn my car at low speeds, i get a clunking/click in the front end. my car is a 2006 G35 coupe, never been in an accident and was recently aligned.

i have had some parts replaced in the front, SPL compression rod bushings, whiteline LCA bushings, whiteline lower outer bushings, and Tein inner and outer tie rods.

it's been absoulte headache and i hope someone can help me.

thank you,

Alex

 

Do you have an aftermarket limited slip clutch type differential? Sounds like you do..Ooops I just read the rest of the post lol. I'd check all your parts. Why'd you get those replaced? It's still a relatively new car. Sometimes aftermarket "upgrades" are FTL

 

i had those parts replaced because my bushings were torn

i guess i've been lowered for too long.. lol

 

do you have coilovers?

 

i do have coilovers lowered on KW Variant 2 with a 1 finger gap all around

 

could be that your front springs have dirt buildup and clunk when you turn. try cleaning or spraying something on the top and lower perch. could also be too much preload which increases the problem.

when i had my s13 on megan coils it clunked all day but crappy coils are known for that. you have fairly nice coils so i im not sure.

 

sorry to sound like a newb.. but what's preload?

 

Could be any part of the front suspension. "Low speed" just masks high speed noise - that is why you hear it at low speed. Have a mechanic get under the car and take a look.

 

try adjustable endlinks.
i got mine from ams motorsports

 

i have my front endlinks with spl but still there, my mechanic said it might be the top shock mount going bad

 

Make sure the top shock mount nuts r tight.....
Seen it before.

What will really help is for you to pinpoint the location of the noise.
Left? Right?
Does it make the noise on left turns? Right turns? Both directions?
does it occur in reverse?
and when did u start noticing the noise?
what was the last thing done to the car prior to hearing the noise?

Clicking/clunking could be a number of things, so figure out the answers to the above questions and one can give you a better prediction of what the problem is

 

thanks for your response.

-sound appears to be coming from both the drivers and passenger front
-the noise comes from turns both directions
-does not occur in reverse
-noise has been going on for a year or two now (been awhile)
-last thing done to the car was SPL endlinks and SPL compression rod bushings installed

i currently have SPL endlinks, SPL compression rod, Tien tie rods inner and outer, and Whiteline LCA bushing replaced.

i hope this helps. thanks!
