Creaky front right suspension


Hi all,

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed a creaking sound coming from the front right of my exy's suspension.

This mainly happens at low speed when driving up my driveway/gutter or any other time it is stretched a little.

Does anyone else's do this?

I am still four thousand k's away from my 20,000 service so should I wait before mentioning it to Nissan?

Is suspension affected or does it just squeak? You may have some sand stuck up there from your last off-road trip, emoticon

If you can't bear the sound of it, get it checked out now. I don't think there would much to be concerned about mechanically speaking. You could be lucky to save some money by having the check done during your 20k service, however I doubt it.

Re: Creaky front right suspension


Might be abit off topic, but ours has a slight shuddering while turning at very low speeds (and not necessarily at full-lock, either) - I've heard ages ago that when that happens it's something to do with the power steering. I did boil my power steering fluid at Stockton at the beginning of this year, and I did request Nissan to inspect it at the recent warranty-about-to-expire service, to which they said it was slightly discoloured but not a problem. Only I forgot to mention the slight shuddering. Service schedule states it to be changed at 80,000 and ours has just done 45,000.

My work Falcon shudders quite considerably in the same conditions (it's done about the same kilometres).

Re: Creaky front right suspension


I get the suspension creaking noise when I go over bumps or in an off-road situation driving at low speed over something that streches the exy, but I get that on the rear left. had this creaking noise since new but never bothered to get it checked-out. It doesn't do it in normal driving conditions and I didn't think it was a major problem anyway.
