Its cold now so dont know if related...when I come to a stop sometimes I get a clunk from the left front brake. Doesnt do it all the time(of course) What is this? Sounds like some part is locking up and not releasing...Just guessing...dealer can't find any problem

I've heard of clunking from the front during turns being a bad strut. Is this possibly what you are experiencing? I've also heard groaning from my brakes occasionally (usually when they are wet) but no clunking.

Yeah Ive heard about that

but no...this is a definitly coming from the brakes...happens when going straight...hasnt done it in a bit...maybe a combo of slush and cold weather wreak havoc on these brakes..mine groan and grab a bit in the morrning in the cold but seem to thaw out after a bit I think the clunk is something sticking or not releasing....who knows...Nissan techs dont for sure=we are too lazy to figure it out.

I hear groaning if the brakes arent wet.
