Hey guys,

So I have a 92 Maxima (not SE) with 75k miles on it. The suspension is stock as far as I know. When I'm doing normal driving even on fairly smooth roads I hear squeeking sounds coming from the front wheel wells. At first I thought it was birds chirping but then I realized it was ALL the time, more noticeably over bigger bumps.

Anyone know if this sounds like sway bar end links? Or something else?

Thanks

It sounds like you should replace the end links. I had the same noise coming from the front end of my 99 Maxima and I had to replace the end links and the sway bar bushings. It's a fairly simple job and it will make a world of difference in how it drives.

Don't waste your time with just the end link kit too - go ahead and buy the whole end link, because they're usually shot. Make sure you buy the Moog brand end links - they're a much better quality and they are greasable too.

Yeah I've done this job on a few other cars now and I'll only use Moog. I just wanted to see if anyone had similar symptoms like this. Thanks
