I was just wondering if anyone who has lowered their 4th gen Altima has experienced any issues with their CV joints. I lowered my 07 Altima with the Eibach pro-kit almost a year ago, and for about the last month it's been making noise around the CV joints that can only be heard when the car is stopped and I turn the steering wheel. I was hoping I could figure out if the noise is related to it being lowered before I take it to Nissan...

I noticed the same problem. I had my front springs installed at the shop and when i got home i noticed a noise when i turned usually out of the driveway. A few weeks after i installed the racingline strut tower brace and noticed one of the bolts on top of the strut tower weren't tight. since i installed the brace and tightened them up no Noise! Its been about 3 weeks now. Good luck.
