G35 LOUD "CLUNKING" WHEN BRAKING

[digimurda]

Hi all,

i have a 2003 g35 coupe with 130k miles.
when driving and i apply on the brakes i get a loud clunking noise coming from the frontend, it also does it
at time when i go over mild bumps/potholes on the road.
on the highway its fine its mostly when slowing down from 30mph and under.
for some reason i think its the calipers making that noise.
can someone please help?

i would really apreciate it.

thanks

Have you jacked up the car, removed the wheel and checked for issues? That's the first thing to do. Could be shocks, springs, sway bar bushings, etc.

On my previous 06 G35 I needed to have the lower control arms replaced at 127579 miles. That made quite a difference in how the vehicle handled. Those bushings may be worn out.

yeah something is lose under there... and you have a 2003, so it bound to be something than just finally wore out.
