Suspension Knock from front driver side - Ideas?
2010 G37S Coupe with 23k miles.
Eibach Pro Kit installed at 4500 miles
CV1's installed at 4700 miles
I recently took a 700 mile road trip and found the car to wander within the lane in addition to the knocking noise I hear while going over bumps slowly. Car also continously pulls to the left, even before/after a recent alignment.
For sure the noise is coming from the driver side front and I can feel it through the steering. Car is obviously within the warranty period, but something tells me the dealer will say that the wheels/lowering springs are the culprit, which I don't doubt at this rate.
Any ideas? Many thanks

Do you have SPC front camber kit? If so check the joint between the spindle and the upper A arm. It might get loose.
EDIT: here's a link to a thread with a video of a friend having an issue on a G35. Something to check maybe.

Correct. It's a little different on the G37, but it's a good place to start checking for looseness if you're having front suspension rattles.

Thanks for all the input guys. Looks like I had an issue with the tie rod bolt not being tightened correctly, causing the noise and wandering car. That'll be the last time I let a Nissan dealer service my car, as the Infiniti dealer fixed it and didn't charge me. I bought my car from there new, so I guess rightfully so.
At any rate, thanks for all the suggestions!
