Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / August 2005Popping sounds from steering when I turn
I have a 1996 Nissan XE6 4X4 truck. It's in great condition other than the fact that there is a popping noise from the front end somewhere when I make a left or right hand turn in motion. Happens particularly when I am turning tightly. I can often avoid this noise if I turn widely at a slow speed). Any ideas what this might be ? Amy damage I should be aware of? Ways to fix it? Thanks, Daryl Does your vehicle have steering stops? On the Terrano the plastic caps wear out and then you get metal to metal contact on full lock. Have a look behind each wheel there will be 4 bolt heads (2 per wheel) that limit the turning angle. Replace the plastic caps or smear with grease. Hope this helps. Skip Sounds like a bad CV joint or two to me. I assume 4x4's have these up front, the same as a fwd car does. Take a look at your front axles, are the rubber boots torn apart? > I have a 1996 Nissan XE6 4X4 truck.

Don't use part time 4WD on dry surfaces such as pavement. The wheels need to be able to slip. |
