I have a 2010 altima coupe with 12.5k miles on it.

I am hearing a sound every time I go over any kind of bump, pothole or dip. It sounds like a squishy sound like if there maybe air in the struts?
I have done a lot of work with suspension with my honda civic and never heard it before with any of my struts. Anyone else hear it before?

thanks.

It sounded like compressed air. I miss that sound

Now with coilovers all I get are clicks, dings, knocks, twangs, and pops.

I have a 2010 Altima Hybrid and I am also hearing a sound. When I took it to the dealer, they said it could be sway bar. Did you do anything to fix your sound and did it work? I only have 16000 miles and I love the car but I am very disappointed that I have this sound which makes me think the car is way older than it is. any help or advice would be appreciated.
