if you are turning real hard i could see that you could be bottoming out your suspension, but that only happens to me if i pull into a gas station going a little too fast

the tech just called me and said that the lower arm might be the problem... the car is pretty new and it has a lot of space for the suspension to bottom out even on a hard tight turn...

My car makes this "popping" when I am making a sharp right turn on a declined ramp exiting a parking lot onto a level road. the suspension is articulated to the extremes on the corners. I suspect the load on the steering is very heavy. I'm not sure where the clunk comes from but its in synch with the suspenson moving.

I think a component in the steering system has some slack and it pops as it is loaded.

A second thought might be that the sound is created by something on the strut. THe porblem only occurs for me when the front suspension is loaded doan and compressed.

I also wonder is it's comming form the CV joints. Could the half shafts be incorrectly sized or misaligned?

Like yur dealer, I'm just guessing at this point. I'm not concerned because there are no other symptoms or problems as a result of thsi noise such as wheel alignment, tracking unevenly, looseness in hte steering, any other noises.

well i just got my Versa back yesterday they pin pointed the problem to the spacer on the suspension... nissan is now aware of this problem :P thanks to me hahaha jk... yeah the problem is brought up to the nissan folks so if you bring in your versa to the dealer they will replace the spacer and re tighten some loose ends on your versa... im saving up for a new suspension package from tien... hopefully it will be a better ride...

Can you tell us what spacer it was? (part #, nomenclature) Perhaps the info is on your invoice. This information sure could help us if we have to bring our cars to the dealer

Thanks
