I hear a clunk sound when I

I'm starting to hear this clunk sound somewhere in the front. When I reverse and then I put it gear, then a complete stops I hear some sort of clunk sound. At times, it's loud, and at times it's not as loud. Can someone help ? I read a couple of threads, and from what I read, it might sound like the motor mount, any suggestions because I'm heading to the dealership this weekend !

I had that same issue with my 6.5 gen. I took into the dealer and and they did something to the transmission. It was under warranty so I didnt bother asking what it was.
However, I also heard that motor mounts and suspension bushings can do that as well.

Have any warranty left on your car?

Yeah, I have warranty on the car. I let them look at it. I'll let them check everything. The bushing, and the motor mount, or/and the transmission. Don't want to leave anything out, without it getting it checked out.

If it happens just once after each startup at 30mph, it's your ABS.

If your car is making a clunk sound after every startup you should take it to the dealer!! The sound of the ABS self checking is barely noticable on my 2011 sv!!

Also there are 5 motor mounts on a Maxima so if one did get bad which is unlikely you probably would not feel it!!
