Clunking noise from front of Maxima. Any solutions?
I have a 2002 Maxima that started to recently make a clunking noise when accelerating and when I turn the steering wheel slightly to the left. I brought it to a well respected mechanic and had the following done checked:
1. Control arms replaced (they were broken)
2. Front axle replaced.
3. CV joints, bearings, struts, and engine mount… checked.
The mechanic was very reasonable, only charged me for parts since he couldn't figure it out. I looked online and it seems like this is a common problem without a common solution. I am going to take it to another mechanic for a second opinion. Does anyone have any ideas? My mechanic seems to think that the only solution left would be to replace the transmission (which he advises against at this point, so he isn’t just trying to rip me off). Please help!

You might look at the strut mounts, on top of the struts. They don't always wear at the same rate as the struts.
