there is a "creeking" noise when you turn the steering wheel that seems to come from the spring on the front passenger side. All bolts and nuts are torqued to spec. any ideas?

 

yeah i think it is coming from the strut bearing. if you crushed them that will make that noise. happened to me. so what i do now is use grease. everytime you jack the cars up take soe grease put it on top of the strut bering and stick it to the top of the suspension plate taht bolts onto the car. this way you won't have to worry aboutit being miss aligned and crushed. now if you already crushed it then use a S@#$t load of grease problem will go away.

 

thanks. is the strut bearing the little black plastic ring?

 

yup hehe its a bioch that little damn thing. its made out of freaking plastic. oh well yeah put some grease past it to the top that way when you bring the car back down it will be alighned. now the pain in the *** is when you take your car to get serviced. make sure you tell who ever is working on the car to do the sam eotherwise they might crush your strut bearing.

 

yea I figured that was the problem. When we did the install, we cleaned the dirt off all the components along with the grease.

 

yup grease it up you should solve that problem
hope fully you didn't crush it.

 

how much would nissan charge for that thing?

 

i just had the GC/AGX setup in my car tonight and i love it! no noises...yet.

 

i think they were 15 or so but im not sure it was iether 15- 20 dollars but i forgot that each im not sure though.

 

and is there a specific strut bearing lube you need?

 

naw i just went and got a tube of grease from kragen no biggy
i come in like a blue tub they have different grades. i thinnnnk i got the high tempreature grease but as long as it will lube the bering it should be fine.

and every ounce and a while i will go in and clean out all the old grease with a rag and apply new grease. thats it

 

Courtesy had strut bearings for $21 and change...
