:tisk: I Now have a new issue with my 08 Versa with 38016 KM, (not miles) When I'am turning the steering wheel to almost full
lock or an U-Turn at low speed. I can hear a clicking sound , like click, click , click.

CV joint ?
Upper strut bearing?
Wheel bearing?
Winter tires/wheels?

Does someone already had this issue?


Thanks guys!

Usually if its a CV joint, it will click while turning far before full-lock.

Do your winter wheels/tires have studs in them? Are they any taller than factory tires? You could be hitting the inside of the fender or something. You can probably bring it back to the dealership for diagnosis (under warranty) if you'd want.

]I know that is my best solution, but since my basic 36 months warranty is over and probably this issue won't b be covered by the powertrain warranty , I am a little scared ... of the dealer estimate...
Thanks!
