Hey guys I have an 09 maxima with 41k on it and today i noticed a wierd noise coming from my rear end, almost sounded like from the trunk. When i accelerate slowly and/or turn left or right i hear a thunking noise. Almost sounds like something is rolling around in my truck and bouncing off the inside of the trunk. So i took everything out of my trunk thinking thats what it was, but i was wrong....Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

 

It's not inside the gas tank is it? Weird question I know, by they anything is possible

 

i dont think it is just for the fact that it doesnt do it all the time...

 

May also want to check in the spare tire area....might be the spare tire hold down is loose?

 

I was thinking maybe the spare tire not being secure too.....but then I realized you said at slow speed. Have you checked under the car, or the rear suspension?

 

I figured it out.... a golf ball fell under my carpet liner in the truck and was rolling around!!!!

 

glad you figured it out. thats def a small enough issue that can cause a huge annoyance. those darn golf ball mods

 

Nice! Always a good thing when it's an easy fix. .
