Suspension Noise that goes away after a while and is apparent in winter
Suspension Noise that goes away after a while and is apparent in winter
My front right suspension makes noise when going over bumps while the car is cold, after a while it doesn't do it anymore.
I started to notice this in winter during cold mornings a couple of years ago. It would make a crunching noise (like a car with no spring isolators) then go away after the car had warmed up/the suspension had gone over a few bumps. It did this every winter.
Now it is continuing to do it into the summer but still goes away after a while.
My suspension setup is Progress on Gr-2's. This is not the problem as I put this suspension set up on not even a year ago and my car made the exact same noise before and after I put this suspension on in the winter.
I am thinking based on the symptoms that it is a bushing problem. My maxima has been very predictable in it's problems, somthing like this
Problems so far...
- CV boot
- Starter
- Oil Pressure Switch
- Knock Sensor
I am confident that someone has had the same exact problem and can point me in the direction of the bushing that fixed theirs.
