lew Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well I've only had the car a week and the problems have started. This one is a really nasty suspension clunk when the wheels go over rough surfaces. Its really taking the fun out of driving it. A search throws up a TSB from nissan saying to tighten some link bolts, which I have and they wont go any tighter so I dont think its that. I have jacked up both sides and had the wheels off looking for play in anything and cant seem to find anything loose or worn. Any ideas?

jell36 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) there's loads of info on the forum about these suspension noises if you search around. Most likely it will be the drop links or the bannana arm. To check the drop links just disconnect one end of both of the front ones and then take is for a drive and see if the noise has gone, if it hasn't then it will be the bannana arm bush.

ATTAK Z Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I've said this many times but I'd put money on the banana bar ... don't waste money on other things, bite the bullet, replace the banana bar on whichever side you think the noise is coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah, I did read about the bananna bars and drop links via the search button. Guess i'll check the drop links first. How do you disconnect them? is it just a case of unbolting them? As for the bananna bar, can you change the bush or do you replace the whole bar? DIY or garage job you think? Whts the best place for these types of suspension spares? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
