“My truck's front suspension makes noise especially when it goes over speed bumps. It's been making noise for maybe since 2010 years and we have got it checked but the service guys says it's fine. The tires, rotations, service has always been well kept.”

They say no problem brought to independent alignment shops and frame shop. They determined that rear axle was off center therefore causing the tracking to be off and preventing a proper alignment and causing erratic steering and having to constantly correct the steering wheel while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10238846, filed 2008-08, 500 miles“2008 Nissan Titan has a large knock in the front suspension when going over bumps and or hills when driving the posted speed limit. The truck was taken to the Nissan dealership many times until Nissan finally decided to post a TSB. The TSB states to replace the front springs on 2008-2010 titans with springs from 2007 titans which will lower the front of the truck by 1.5 inches. My truck is now an eye sore by having an unbalanced rake when looking at the truck from front to back and still knocks heavily when going over bumps and or hills. …”
