Popping in the front end??

[nbf6165]

2003 Pathfinder, 118,000 milesCan't seem to find anything using the search tool. Have had a popping noise in the front, left and right sides. Figured it was the strut mounts. Struts and shocks needed replacing anyway. Replaced shocks/struts and mounts. Still have the popping. This happens when I hit "dips" in the road. Happens constantly now. Anti-sway bar links?? Any ideas? Drives me nuts!

Ok, so struts/mounts replaced AND sway bar links replaced. Still popping/clicking in the front when hitting "dips"

Now what?

Common occurrence on these trucks. 99 percent certain it's your stabilizer links. Nothing out of the ordinary considering the mileage.If you're a DIY sort of guy, you can change them yourself.I've done mine twice already. The symptoms you describe are what I had.You can get the links outside of Nissan, but I suggest you buy them from the dealer.Price should not be an issue.Good luck.

Could be sway bar linkages. Start there.

theres a slim chance it cud be yur sway bar bishings,but id say check the control arm bushings,mine went bad at 72000 and they will make a clunk, starting at just bumbs, but then u'll hear ir when u turn, make sudden movements, and even turning the wheel with the vehicle stopped.
