Hey Guys,

So I have an 01 Max Se with 152k. Car is up to date on all maintenance. Everything is pretty much stock besides a few simple mods. Have subframe collars installed, suspension is relatively new, fstb, rsb, LCAs changed last week, tie rod ends are changed recently with moog, rear tracking arm bushings changed.

Now for the last 6-8 months, I am experiencing a strange rattling underneath the car over certain bumps. I live in NY and the roads here suck which doesn't help the problem. I know our cars don't have the most smoothest ride but I know there shouldn't be rattling coming from underneath. I had the car checked out my numerous mechanics who all said the car looks fine. But when I go over these crazy NYC bumps, I feel like the car/wheels are taking the bumps more harshly then normal along with the rattling noise which is driving me crazy. I don't know what else to do. I don't enjoy my ride as much as I want to.

Anyone else experience or has experienced this?

What else can can I do? Any other person local in NYC/LI that I can get the car checked out by who is very experienced with the chassis or can help diagnose the problem?

All help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

ITS A MECHANIC SHOP OWNED & OPERATED BY A CERTIFIED NISSAN TECH NAMED BOBBY. HES THE REASON I OWNED 2 NISSANS. HES THE BEST FROM COMMON RATTLING NOISES TO REBUILDING ENGINES. TELL HIM SHAWN SENT U.

 

Thanks will check him out.

 

I was reading that the brackets that hold the pre-cat will crack and split, causing a rattling. There is a TSB on this for the 2004, but maybe the problem pre-dated the TSB.
