Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / January 2007Front End Knock Sound
I have a 97 Maxima GLE with 126,000 miles on it. I have a front end knocking sound that appears it comes from either around my brake pedal or from driver side tire. The sound comes and goes when I hit certain potholes or bumps. It sounds like something is knocking around and gets lodged then dislodged. Anyone have any idea what it could be.? > I have a 97 Maxima GLE with 126,000 miles on it.

If the struts are original, it's probably time. >> I have a 97 Maxima GLE with 126,000 miles on it.

Also make sure the really big nut that holds the control arm to the pivot member is fully torqued. Dave Make sure you check motor mounts. C.H. >I have a 97 Maxima GLE with 126,000 miles on it.

My 2000 with 78K miles had that metallic clunk on the passemger side when the strut on that side went bad. Upon removal, the bad strut shaft can be moved by hand and I can duplicate the noise by just pulling pushing at the limits of travel. |
