helppp!!!!! please

hi guys i am new to this forum and have an issue with my newly married wifes 04 maxima i am about ready to burn this car to the ground. A little back ground on me and i will go into detail on whats going on with her car. I own a 2003 bmw m5 i am a bmw tech so i am mech inclined. Now her car is an 04 with 36k on it i like the car but a year and a half ago when the car had 26k on it i had a knocking noise in the front suspention so i threw the car on the lift and condemed front shocks and at that point i was like wtf this car sits all week and is driven on the weekends by her and is babied any how i took it to nissan and got them too warr the front shocks at that point knocking noise went away ever since then the car has been thru 4 sets of front shocks for the same problem. Now the car has 36k on it and i had the dealer do the right front shock because the noise is back so they replaced the right front shock agian and guess what the noise is still there. so i had them go back in and replace the strut mount cause the retards never changed it and i assumed that when they change the shock that they would replace all parts *** with it but no they did not. So they replaced the shock mount and no go knocking noise is still there. i have put it on the lift and went over all the bolts shock swaybar link ball joint subframe etc and have cked for play in all front end components im at my wits end is there something you guys can sugg maybe i over looked something. or has someone else come accross this problem. looking for all the help i can get before i put this car up for sale cause im so fed up with it. sorry for the long post guys both me and my wife are at our witts end with this noise to the point that she does not want to drive it. agian thank you for any info that can help me solve this ahead of time

kind reguards to all george
