mattyrides07 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I went to run errands today and noticed my front passenger side making a weird noise... got out and shook the wheel. Got the noise to make it again... looks like my day off Monday is now going to be spent trying to figure it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmons Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Could be a strut bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Make sure that it's not just the sway bar end link. I had a similar issue and thought that it was my strut. One simple turn with a socket wrench shut the bastid' up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyrides07 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Could be a strut bearing. I bought and put in new OEM ones... only approx 400 miles on them. Make sure that it's not just the sway bar end link. I had a similar issue and thought that it was my strut. One simple turn with a socket wrench shut the bastid' up. I pulled the wheel off yesterday and everything appeared to be tight... I'll pull the wheels off tomorrow and retighten them down though. Thanks for the tip... hopefully it'll shut it up.

mattyrides07 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 The noise is only heard when the strut goes in and out.... TOTALLY weird. On a worse note, my rear 4 link bushings need to be replaced.... the parts from Nissan are nearly $680!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I just had to replace my KYB-GR2 passenger side strut for the same darn thing! The shop I took it to replaced it for free (waranty) but charged me the labor. I did not complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this shop do the initial install as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strut had started to strip the top threads. Don't really know why. Actually, I've never heard of any complaints at all about the KYB's? A friend and I installed the struts with the AC lift in his shop. Another friend of mine is a mechanic at a garage and "turned in" the strut for me as they install KYB's all the time. He's the one that did the ground work for my free replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyrides07 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 finally got some time to look at it closer... EVERYTHING is tight. But when the passenger strut is compressed there is a noise coming from the strut itself... almost like there's no oil in the strut.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
