Hi, I have a creaking problem in the front end of my suspension when I'm travelling at low speeds eg. Car park, speed humps and more specifically turning left at those lower speeds. I believe it is coming from the front right end of suspension.  I have a couple of pictures attatched with the suspected parts and was wondering what would most likely cause these issues and the names of the part in the pictures if it's one of these. 

The cars steering wheel also shakes above 100km/hr. I had a tie rod end and new tyres put on all around with a wheel alignment and problems still persist. The tyres are just cheap ones but regardless  I believe the problem lies in the suspension. 

I don't have the stock wheels on, and I believe the car is lowered 10mm if that information is useful.

Your top black circle is around the bush that is the at the outer end of the upper arm.  Could be stuffed and could creak.  The next circle down is the upper bearing in the upright/spindle.  That could be stuffed and could creak.  Impossible to tell you if either are the culprit.  The red circle is around the anti-roll bar's end link.  Those bushes could be stuffed and could creak but unlikely to be loud enough to bother you.

Could also be just about anything else down there.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
