Daleo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Get underneath and twist the tie rods/rack ends; I bet there's a clunk. I just had an alignment on mine, and this has disturbed the inner rack ends; which have developed a knock. They appear to be the same as V35 and 350z rack ends from my search of common part numbers. Can anyone confirm? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/394359-knocking-in-the-front-wheel/#findComment-6269577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigkevracer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 V35/350Z ball joints are the same. I've just had mine fitted and the car feels amazing. eBay is the place to get them. Nissan will only sell the entire setup, at $800/side.

bigkevracer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You need to get a computer. It'll make things much easier compared to trying to use your phone. Not trying to be an asshole, just trying to help! Pretty sure this is where I got mine from, but with the exchange rate they're cheaper now: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-LOWER-BALL-JOINT-NISSAN-350Z-03-09-/250697175942?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a5eb75386#ht_863wt_891 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/394359-knocking-in-the-front-wheel/#findComment-6271080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commsman Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) is there a front and rear set of these? cos I can occasionally hear clunking from the rear... Let me know if you locate the clunking at the rear. Mine started making a clunking noise a month or so ago & unable to work out what it is. Seems totally random, not just turning a particular direction, accelerating, decelerating, bumpy or smooth road - can't get a handle on it. Audible from outside too.

bigkevracer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 How long did they take to arrive? I'm looking at getting my rack ends through him. Less than a week. Pretty happy all round with them - very quick (coming from Taiwan) and very cheap). Isn't the rear clunking normally the sway bar links/mounts?

Daleo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Less than a week. Pretty happy all round with them - very quick (coming from Taiwan) and very cheap). Isn't the rear clunking normally the sway bar links/mounts? That's pretty good then. Looks like I'm placing an order. Sway Bar mounts & links are normally fairly repeatable; they either do, or they don't. They also load & unload fairly regularly, so they tend to be fairly vocal. There is a ball joint in the upper "A" arm in the rear, the rest is bushes. Shouldn't be too hard to apply some leverage to the arm to check for noise.
