feeling a pop.

ShockWave · 04-16-2012, 07:41 PM

I notice a light pop whenever I make very sharp turn coming from the front wheels? Its only when a make a sharp turn like a U turn. I don't hear the pop I just feel it whenever i turn. Any one might know what this is? Thanks

It is your tires... our summer tires skip when you turn sharply, especially when they are cold.

I dont think its my tires. Its pretty hot here in houston around 85-90. Could it be the bushing or a endlink?

I have the same problem, I think mine are rubbing

this has been mentioned before. its normal and has to do with turning radius and steering geometry. its the front tire skipping as you make the turn.

i notice it on smooth nice concrete like in a parking garage. not so much on rough street concrete.

i actually took mine in to the dealer for this..
we put it up on the rack - looked all around - checked the bushings and linkages - all were good..

the master tech confirmed he could feel it also - pretty easy to duplicate if you are on smooth level ground - i turn the wheel all the way to the right and back up - as if out of a parking space..

in the end - no nissan recommendation - nothing really bad happening.

Hmm. I've noticed that a few times too and wondered about it. Thanks for clarifying.
