2007 Murano making a clicking sound
My wife's 2007 Murano LE has just over 68,000 miles on it, and about a month ago we noticed when we accelerate on the drivers side wheel we heard a click click. Now we are also hearing it occationally while driving. And we were wondering if anyone else has had this issue? We have been told by a mechanic not the Nissan dealership that it sounds like a wheel berring is going out. But didn't want to drop a bunch of cash on a maybe. Other than noise no change in handeling or performance I have noticed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to NICO!
Without hearing the sound ourselves, its tough to determine what it might be. However, I can still offer an idea or two for testing.
If you want to check the wheel bearing yourself, jack up the wheel that is making the noise. Grab it at the 12 oclock and 6 o clock position with your two hands and try to rock it back and fourth. If it has a lot of play, a wheel bearing may be slowly failing.
While its up, put the car in neutral (don't forget to chock the wheels first!!!) and spin it around to see if you can replicate the sound. Try turning the wheels each direction, too in order to see if you can replicate and isolate it. You may have to get under the car and on the inside of the wheel to see/hear.
Worth a shot! Let us know what you find!
Good luck!

Ok, thanks I'll give that a try. Took it into the dealership to get the oil changed today and the car crapped out they think it's the mast airflow sensor seem's like when it rains it pours lol
