I'm coming up on the last 100 miles of my factory warranty and for the past few months I've been hearing this strange clicking noise when taking off from a dead stop or going in reverse during slow speeds. The sound is coming from the passenger side front end near the wheel. Please advise if anyone else has had this problem as I think I will take it in to have it looked at before I hit the 36k mile mark. Thanks!

i had the same problems around 28k and the problem was with the strut. my noise was more of a clunk at low speeds while turning the wheel near lock. nissan replace the strut and the noise went away. the driver side started making the noise so i went with kyb gr-2s.

I had that problem and my power steering pump went out......on my way to maxima meet I couldn't drive my car to the meet so I had to leave my car at the rest stop and car pool wit my fellow org member....

I still have the same problem. I took it to Nissan and they replaced the strut, but it still didn't stop the noise. So I took it back and they performed the TSB that 'said' it would stop the problem, well the clanking sound is still there and I’m not sure what to do.

BTY I don't mean to post *****, just letting you know it is a common problem in some 5th gen's.

Sounds like youve got a bad cv boot.

hey thanks, i actually have that problem too, when I back up from my parking space, and while turning my wheel and switching to drive, I here this scratch sound to the front passenger wheel. I thought it was nothing, but not its been occuring more often. I dont know if anyone has this problem, but when I put my car in reverse and gas it, it sound like my front wheels are scraping something and it sounds bad.... does anyone experience this?? Damn it im only 6000 miles into my car, and I have a TSB, Strut, and reverse problem,... dont get me wrong, i still love my car...
