Drove my Max from Texas to Maryland last weekend. I've been here all week. DC/MD roads are horrible in the city. All of a sudden when I go over a bump I'm hearing this thumping sound in the right front corner of the car. I pull up into my garage and press down on the corner and there's a noise. The sound seems to be getting worse with every bump. I'm taking it to a Nissan dealer first thing this morning 7/1. Wish me luck.

 

It's not just a sound, there's a feeling like something is jiggling loose at the front corner near the suspension. I feeling the thumping through the floor. Very bad.

 

You need a new strut. I hope they have it for you a lot of people aren't lucky and they have to wait. I had that problem like 3 weeks after buying this car. Still love it though.

 

Screw Nissan, They Replaced And I Still Have The Noise

 

Well, it looks like you guys were right, I need a new right front strut. Unfortunately the dealership I took it to didn't have the part. I will probably have to ride all the way back to Texas with the bad stut. The strut still has a good charge, the car rebounds fine, the noise is just nerve racking.

Does anyone see a problem putting another 1400 miles on this bad strut?

 

Don't know about others that have this problem, but I've got more than 1400 miles on my bad strut..... still waiting for the new one to show up.

 

mine have been replaced dont sad as bad as yours but a little noticable going very slow over the lip in my drive, im trying to deal with it.

i noticed my new rear struts have a part number sticker with the code "SL-..." however i have an se, is this normal??? did the dealer screw up???

 

i just noticed that sound in my car, Also does anyone know about gears being hard to go into, or havin some slight resistance when going into certain gears, when im shifting into 2nd i feel a little resistance and i dunno if this is normal but i ALWAYS have "fog" pop up on my windshield i have to turn the ac or heat on to get rid of it but when i turn it off it pops up again its annoying
and 1 more thing my windows make noise when i roll em up.
help if u can
thanks
