My Infiniti is making a lot of front end noise that sounds like bad strut mounts. It was quiet before it went in for a brake job. I am guessing from the vehicle being on a lift and the suspension hanging, it tore the strut mounts that must of been weak. It doesn't make much noise on bumps, but on cobblestone or dips, it makes a lot of clunking.

It is under warranty so I will let Infiniti deal with it. But I am surprised to have suspension noise at 60K. Service advisor says strut mounts are common on these cars.

Make sure it's not your stabilizer links...

Infiniti said they are replacing sway bar bushings and end links.

Called it :P. Stabilizer links/end links are usually the first thing to check when I hear clunking. My lowered M35x used to blow those things every 5kmi almost on the money...I tried like 4 different brands.
