Hey guys, I know that this has been covered before, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not completely off base when I go to my dealership Wednesday.

Everyone once in a while (especailly when going over a small 'hump', like the entrance to some parking lots, etc) I'll get a squeek or squish sounds coming from my drivers side wheel... The other day I hear a sharp 'click' while turning into Staples (come to think of it, I hear the loud clicks mostly when turning). the clicks are loud enough to hear inside with the windows up and the radio/air on... is this indicative of a bad strut? I already have an apointment at the dealership to have them look at it (along with a list of other problems - I doubt they'll be able to reproduce them all though). Will this be easy for them to notice? I needed to make an 800 mile trip this upcoming weekend...

Thanks.

 

The clicking noise when you turn might be your axle. Had that problem on the 96 Maxima.

 

There is presently a nationwide backorder for struts on the 04 because the orginal ones are defective and noisy.

 

I had a hollow sound coming from my front passenger strut and the dealer explained to me that its the strut bearing ( don't know what it is) but they'll replace it and hopefully I won't have to pay cause of the eibach springs. Time will only tell.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I do feel a bit strange taking it in without a good idea that there is a problem with the struts, but on the other hand it shouldn't be making these kinds of noises.... we'll see if they are able to reproduce them tomorrow morning.

 

they said my strut bearings were fine, i had 3 struts replaced in may, but the noises still persist, not as bad

 

Just got a call back from my dealer - they could not replicate any of my rattles, or any of the noises sometiems when turning.

Oh well...
