You may want to take a breath between sentences hehe

Why did the dealer replace your rack? When they replace the wheel bearing you have to do an alignment. You may actually be experiencing multiple issues.

If you didnt have that rattle before they did the work, take it back to the dealer and they will most likely fix that for you.

I have a similar noise on my m35x.

Kind of a slight rattle when I go over small bumps that seems to be more prevalent on the drivers side (but that could be cause I am always in the driver's seat).

If you find out what it is, please post it up. It has been bothering me!

Very good service at Herb Chambers Infiniti of Westborough I dropped my car off and the service adviser wanted the tech to just give it quick look so he had me wait to see if it can be fixed quick. He cam back and siad we found the issue but I'm going to have it keep the car till tomorrow.I then ask him will there be a charge and he siad not one penny I guess my point is the rattle wasn't very loud and my experience with dealers and these issue are not good he didn't tell me what the issues was I'll post when I pick my car up.

+1 - I have a similar noise/rattle over bumps - i'm thinking it is either struts/strut mounts being worn out...but i'm new to doing work/maintenance on Infiniti's...so curious to know your outcome - thanks in advance,

Sorry for raising up this old topic again, but just would like to know has anybody known the real root cause as "lovemycarm35" mentioned? Even though written messages to him several times, just no reply. I have replaced my steering rack, stabilizer, wheel bearing, lower control arm, but still exist.

This is a good resource on finding the noise. http://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/diagno ... n-your-car

Hope that helps.

Did you check the steering fluids? I had this problem and it stopped after I syphon and replace it with ATF
