clicking noise when i break hard, or on sharp (slow) turn
I have a problem that recently started with my 350Z touring roadster.
Its new, less than 6000 miles.
Whenever I turn all the way to the left or right, for instance pulling into a parking spot, there is a clicking noise and you can feel it on the peddle, as if something is shifting or loose in the front end or the steering column. If the car was front wheel drive, you would swear it was a CV joint problem, but there aren't any CV joints on the front of a rear-wheel drive car.
You can also feel it if you break hard, there is a click which you can feel in the break.
The dealership spent most of yesterday tightening every bolt on the front end, and made no difference. Now they are ordering struts..
I anyone has had a similar problem, it'd love to here from you
thanks

Hey Paul,
I also have this problem with my Z. I have an 03 Performance with 40K. It does not do it when I turn but when i accelerate and shift to second i hear it alot and when I slow down quickly i can hear it. Also bumps in roads i will hear it. The sound is a small ting or click its annoying but doesnt feel like or sound like it is doing anything to damage the car. Im guessing its the frame flexing. And I having a manual so the *** end slightly drops when you shift gears so that is my best guess. But let me know if you find out anything. Good luck
