Clunking on Passenger Front Wheel


DaddyCee

Recommended Posts

All.

 

I seem to have a clunk from the front passenger wheel when I hit potholes or some uneven surfaces. The bushes were both changed last July / August time (thanks ZMANALEX). I am wondering if it could be worn out already or if the suspension just needs a good lube.

 

What would be my best point of action? I have an MOT next month so could wait till its up on the ramp to inspect it properly.

 

Are there any other causes I should be wary of?

 

It's a 2007 Roadster with 55K on the clock.

 

Cheers,

 

DC.

Which bushes did you change? or all of them?

 

Could be bottom suspension bushes, banana arm bushes or drop links - unless you changed all of them??

Simples, get the car checked out properly for an informed diagnoses.

 

Hopefully it will nof be to serious or expensive.

 

I will have any parts that you may require in stock and good to go same/next day.

 

In the meantime best to check your wheel nuts are tight. ;)

Thanks there. You never know who to trust with your ZED even specialists seems to mess up.

I had a rattling sound from my drivers-side front wheel for months when ever I hit a pot hole or went over a speed bump.

 

It sounded as if a plywood board had been loosely tied to the underside of the car and rattled when the wheel hit something.

 

My previous Nissan dealer couldn't find the problem and suggested swapping out parts until the noise disappeared - I never went back :rant:

My new Nissan dealer found the problem straight away - the front suspension arm. Apparently Nissan had a bad batch of 'em. This is on an 04 plate 350Z
