Hello Everyone! I recently purchased my car about 3 years ago from a used car lot. However, before I had my car I used to own a 1995 Ford Mustang GT (The last 5.0 HP) they made for that style bracket. I have to be honest at first I didn't want to compensate the power from my originally, (V8) to a (V6). WOW, What a big surprise..The power that these Infiniti has today. I know for sure that I made the right choice as for as my car goes.

My question is this. I recently started hearing a knocking noise coming from the driver side front suspension. I already eliminated re-torque all the suspension and visually checking the brakes, and suspension. The problem only occurs when I back out of my driveway at low speed turning my wheels to the left. It almost sounds like a loose ball joint. I am little puzzled from this and don't want to pay some mechanic to check it out unless I absolutely have to.

Thank you.Ray

Probably the top strut mount needs replacing.
