Noise in my front suspension....

Got this annoying click-clack when I go over sharp bumps, in my 03 max no rattling just a click clack at the time of the bump -sound like some linkage or something making contact or maybe a bushing that's worn out in there.. anyone dealt with a similar issue, my mechanic took a look and said he didn't see anything doubt he looked too closely cuz that's not why the car was in but its definitely there- front drivers side. Thanks

I have the same thing... I'm putting in new struts/springs in a couple of days, so I'll let you know if I find the source of the noise.

Do a search - there are quite a few threads that discuss this topic. For the click-clack you mention, the potential suspects are: a) Axle/CV joints, b) Sway bar links, c) Strut bearings, d) Worn-out sleeves on your springs, e) Engine mount, etc., etc. ... .

If only there was a thread that answered suspension questions regardless of complexity, administered by someone that REALLY knew Maxima suspensions.

Oh wait....
