Two problems related to front suspension control arm have been reported for the 1997 Nissan Maxima. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The right front strut was making a grinding noise & replaced strut, bearing, springs 6/8/98. Again the same noise occured, and the bearing was lubed and the control arms were tightened 8/31/98. Currently, the car is making the same noise and again various parts are on backorder and must be replaced by 1/26/98. Thank you for your help.
While driving the vehicle experienced premature front wheel lockup, causing extensive undercarriage damage, such as struds/control arm, etc.
