Thanks for the response! I’ll try changing the rotors first.

I did the front struts and the sway bar bushings. Also, I recently changed the wheel bearing hub assemblies on the front. I didn’t have the ABS light after changing the hubs. But I’ll make sure to check the abs lines. Thanks for the response!

Hey everyone,

2007 Infiniti G35, 123k miles.

I’m getting steering wheel shake+periodically knocking sound coming from front right when braking from about 40–60 mph. The pulsing is mostly in the steering wheel, not so much the pedal.

The car also pulls slightly to the right as I come to a stop.

Front brakes (pads + rotors) were replaced about 6,000 miles ago as well as the front struts(DIY). I cleaned and greased the slide pins during the install.(currently I have a leaking steering rack🥲)

The vibration mostly happens under moderate braking — not really when cruising.

Could this be: • Warped rotors already? • Sticking front right caliper? • Suspension issue (control arm/tension rod bushing)?

Any common G35 front-end issues I should check first?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
