Could be that bushing full of silicone. Read through this DIY to see if it describes your issue.

Most likely the bushing, it's known to go.

If you have less than 70k the dealership should fix it under warranty. I would do that & when it happens again out of warranty do the whiteline bushings IMO

I'm taking mine in tomorrow for a warranty replacement. Going to take three days and they said they're going to replace the whole cradle. I asked them why they were spending that much time and money instead of replacing all the bushings with the whiteline bushings and just got a shrug. I'm at 32k

I have a new bushing if you need it. Takes a few hours to replace. It's not a big deal. Tons and tons of us have done it. Me on my own and I did a solid bushing replacement which is way harder to do!

Infiniti doesn't make a replacement bushing, the whole rear subframe had to be replaced under warranty. Engineering fail

Question is can it be done without damaging anything else. Reminds me of BB's gasket thread. $3K repair for a $20 gasket.

It will just pop again. Might as well do it right.
