when i tried to get out of my garage( tight space), i need to make several tries, its kind like making an u-turn on a narrow street, where u need to put it in reverse after u turn. my suspension will make a clunk noise..sounds somethiung like metal. and sometimes when i put it in reverse and back out slowly, lheard similiar sound. many times i thought i ran over some coke can , but it is from the suspension..not sure if its front or rear.
any one got thid prob? wuts wrong with it?
sometimes i can duplicate the prob when i take it to the dealer..its werid

 

there is a service bulletin on it. dealer will replace strut. kinda common..

 

I had my right front strut mount replaced. The bushing on it was ripped. Was making sound when turning.
The dealer replaced the strut too, even though my original was fine. They said that this is the procedure. You know dealers.

 

I know what you mean. I have that same problem. I hear it everyday at least twice. I took my car to the dealer and had the front right strut replaced but I still have that grinding noise. It sucks to buy and new car and have so many problems.

 

being run over noise normal? I don't mean the thunk, just that springy noise...I hear it every morning backing out of my driveway and whenever I get back in after parking it somewhere...have been told it is the ABS setting thenmselves and have also been told that is hogwash...as far as the clunk goes..I only hear it on particular part of the road..if I come into this U turn near my house pretty hot(taking a right) I hear a clunk from somewhere up front...if I take it normal I really dont hear anything...roadway does get a little higher in the turn so not sure if this influences the noise

 

Well you should only hear the ABS noise once after the car starts moving in gear the first time after its started, so after you back up, go forward and try it again

damn... I'm going to have to start leaving the radio off before I leave and see if I have this problem too.

 

I only hear once per trip Meaning like you said, I back up and once I start to move forward I hear the Coke cans being crushed...and thats it until next time I move the car.....I think Damn I like the Maxima but my Celica never had any of these quirks.......
