2013 Infiniti G37 xS — clunk over small sharp bumps but not big ones

ColdStartGal16Community StarterAug 10, 20262013 Infiniti G37 xSFlorida

There is a single clunk from the front over small potholes and driveway edges. Big smooth bumps don't reproduce it. End links look intact. Any good way to isolate strut mount vs sway-bar link vs control-arm bushing? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2013 Infiniti G37, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

2018 Infiniti Q50 — surface rust underneath a winter daily — Salt Lake City owner question

There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without creating a hard coating that traps moisture?
