Another Maxima noise

Has anyone else experienced a knock when you shut the driver's side door eminating from the rear panel by the trunk? It seems I always hear some bump when I get out and shut the door. Always in the same place-driver's side rear panel. And no it isn't from slamming the door shut.

The only noise I ever got when closing my door was from a loose screw. You have the upper and lower hinges and in between those you have a thin piece of metal that is connected to the body and runs into the door. The screw (10mm) that mounted that thin piece of metal/arm was loose and cause a clunking sound everytime I shut the door.

Sorry I couln't help you more, free bump.

In my 96 Max the jack is on the passenger side but I have never looked in the trunk of my 2k2 Max. Might be worth a look. Also is the sound only when you close your door or can you wait a little while?

It's great. Cheap living and if you want full exhaust there are no inspections so your car will be perfectly legal (you can get a ticket for a loud exhaust.) I bought a big house and am moving in next week, I'm about to start packing. I am on the north side of the city close to edmond.

Hit me up when you visit your Dad sometime.

The sound is immediately when I the door hits the frame. The jack is on the passenger on the 2k2. I have peeled back the trunk carpet but haven't spent much more time on it than that.

It was only a couple of years ago when they had inspections then the people of OK rose up and voted against any further inspections. Smart people! Anyway, yeah I might drop you a line before I head down there. Always nice to check out another ride.
