I have an Altima 07 with 45k miles. Everything is original. Month ago i noticed some noise when I was going over speed bumps or bumpy asphalt. Seems like something is knocking there right by the wheel. I don't have this noise on good road.
Looks like front suspension is going bad. I'm thinking it's a stabilizer, bushings or may be strut/strut mount causing this noise.

Anybody had same problem? If i have 90k miles it would normal wear but in my case I think the suspension gave up on me too early. We have very decent roads in a town and it's a florida too not NJ, NY.

it could also be the shocks wearing out. i daily drive/ track or do canyon runs with it and my shocks already are making noise because of it. my mileage is at 70k now. idk if this helps solve your problem but try to inspect your car

I'll go to a dealer when i have some time. I've got gold preferred warranty so make them fix it. I've checked yesterday and most of the suspension is covered by extended warranty. Now it would be their headache.
