I have a 2003 Murano w/ 40K and it's great except for a noise coming from the rear-passenger wheel. This noise opnly occurs when I'm braking very lightly and at a very slow speed (5MPH). The noise is a crackling sound. Hit the brakes hard and I don't notice the noise.
At first, I thought it was my brakes - had those serviced and no change.
I've had my local service guy look at it twice thinking it was bad brakes. They found nothing.
You described your issue as a brake issue - what does the noise sound like and when does it occur. If these sound like the same symptons, what did you do to fix it
thanks
Mark

| I know it's probably too late, but you need to check for the old 350Z nemesis - tire feathering. Are the insides of the tread on the fronts "cupped"? Run your hand along the inside top of the tire in one direction and then back in the other - smooth going one way and notchy going the other? Noise most noticeable slowing down on smooth blacktop? Check it out. |
Good 1st post, Ronny.
OP, do check for feathering, and if you've got it, it's only going to get worse. (Sorry.) My 350Z has it, bad. The cure, which I haven't taken yet, is new tires, then an alignment to the new specs on Hunter equipment. I figure that since my tires probably only have another 5000 miles left in them, I'll just deal with the noise. No point in getting the alignment now, as the feathered tires will just beat the alignment back out of shape. Good luck.
