Post Rotors gone wrong!

I installed front cross drilled/ slotted rotors on my 07 max. On the right side when I hit a bump it doesnt sound right. It sounds like a thud or something is loose. I checked the caliper bolts and ofcourse all lugnuts are tight. Any suggestions?

get used to noise if you want ricer drilled/slotted....

if you want advice on noise, you need to be more specific about what it sounds like. "It doesn't sound right" doesn't help us help you.

Every time I hit a bump it goes thud but is louder than normal or different than anything Ive heard before. I had these types of rotors on 3 different cars and have never heard or had this noise before.

^^^ thats nothing new. What do you expect it is nissan quality. If you are covered by warranty let them take care of it.

if you've got suspension noises, check your brake install to make sure everything's tight, then take it to the dealer and watch them try to void your warranty because you touched the brakes.

Actually my dealer is cool with my mods and said if it does directly effect whats broke he will fix it. He even re secured my front SS lines for me. They replaced the strut but said there is still a small noise they couldnt figure out. They will look at when I bring it in next for some other things. They actually notice that one of my rear cross drilled/slotted rotors had a crack and told me. I have a new set on the way.

After they replaced the strut I still had small noise. I went back and found that the bottom strut bolts were still loose as well as a couple of others. No more noise but the dealer should have found it.
