I have a 2008 G35XS, love the car however I live in a historic neighborhood so there are brick streets and my brakes rattle and often times seem to set off a harmonic vibration that I feel both at the brake pedal and steering wheel. I can also hear this. Is there anything I can do. I have taken it to the dealer but they said they don't find any problems? Thanks

Sometimes the little spring clips that hold your pads in don't do their job too well, and need to be bent to give the pads a little more pre-load so they don't flop around in the caliper.

How far is the road from the dealership? You might be able to take one of the techs with you.
