my 2009 altima coupe 3.5se makes noises over every bump??

[pacpac6]

I bought a 09 altima coupe and its factory. I want to fix it up for summer. I have a problem. The front shocks/shruts makes noises over every bump? It sounds like a bed spring or the fluid compressing in the shock. Its very annoying and embarrassing. Is this the factory parts doing this? Does anyone know what im talking about? If i get coil springs or just a better suspension will this noise stop? After a suspension i want to get rims and body kit..then eventually exhaust and more hp.

Mine does that too and I love it. Haha literally it sounds great to me. It's just the sound of the shocks compressing.

My '09 has been doing that since I bought it new. It's one of those annoying things about my coupe. Never remembered to talk to the dealer about it, but apparently it's there on my car, even after I had to replace the rear 2 shocks a couple years back.

Ok we'll thanks for replying. The dealership said it was normal operation. I didn't believe them until now. So If I change the shocks with after market ones will the noise stop?

[AlexN09]

I believe the noise will still occur. Seems like the design of the shocks, not actually a problem.

The noise may be from the bushing on the control arms, and not the shocks, or it could be the shocks. Only way to find out is to ask someone who's had aftermarket shocks put in their coupe.

I got the same problem on a different car, then, I replaced the struts and the problem was gone
But, it was doing worse on winter time

My 08 3.5 coupe has kind of a squishing sound coming from the rear when driving slowly over speed bumps. Don't notice it any other time. I have 70K on stock struts.
