I have a serious problem with the front struts of my 2002 Nissan Altima. Everytime I drive over a washboard or speeding bump, the struts make a popping sound as if a hammer is hitting underneath the vehicle. As a matter of fact, any sort of irregularities from the road causes such noises. If you take time to go to 3rd generation Altima forums, you will realize tons of people going through my same situation. Please, if anyone from Nissan is reading this, you should know the Altima has it's faults, fix them!!!!!.
Right front strut on my 2003 Nissan Altima has failed 4 times in 18 months. Mileage is high on my Altima, at 40k due to several trips from California to oregon for family emergencies in first year of ownership. I am being told by the dealership that I am getting defective mcpherson struts that are now made in mexico. Car has a very distinguished pull to the right every since first failure at 6 months in service. Alignments and new tires have not helped this situation. Car is currently sitting at the dealer, I will not let them replace the strut again because they cannot assure me that I will not get another defective part. Car is very hard to handle especially going over uneasy roads, which there are plenty of in southern California.
