Hey guys. My 02 maxima Gle is bugging the hell out of me. Less than a month ago, i purchased Tokico hp blues shocks and struts for my baby. Upon recently, i noticed a knock noise coming fron the driver side front when i hit a pot hole or something and also some weird loud noise coming from the front as well. when i drive sometimes its like I havent replace the shocks and it shakes terribly when in a pot hole. I was told i dont have bearing problem. So what could be this noise? Moreover, the inner part of my tires are getting smooth fast and wearing out. What is happening?

Take it back to whoever did the installation. Something is probably looose or the installation is not done correctly. You need wheel alignment to prevent uneven wear on your tires.

As loy said, it could be a problem with the installation or it could be a problem with the mounts. It could also be a problem with the sway bar end links. If you lowered the car with different springs then I can be just about positive that your camber is off. You'll need to have them install cam bolts to correct it and then re-align it.
