When I apply my brakes it sounds and feels like something is loose. It's more prominent on the passenger side. Basically it feels like the car stops faster than the wheel does.The Strut seems intact and with a visual inspection nothing looks out of the ordinary. However, the tension rod bushing looks worn out. Could that be the problem? Thanks, Jason

Where is the best place to buy new parts?

Sounds like a tension rod indeed.

Talk to Joe at Infinitipartsusa.com (Scottsdale Infiniti), tell him you're a NICO member. (Link on forums page)

He's the MAN!

Don't let it go long. Could get serious. I have seen frames fatigued from not fixing these due to repeated shock loads.
