"Dribbling" when hitting bumps while cornering - Nissan Murano

musickson · 07-22-2010, 08:05 PM

2003 Murano SE AWL has a horrible habit of "Dribbling" it's front tires like a basketball when hitting rough spots while cornering, rather un-nerving at highway speeds, also loudish thunking from front passenger side front end when hitting hitting certain types of rough spots. Took it in to mechanic and he says all is well. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Mine does the same thing. Unfortunately it has to do with the design of the suspension so new bushings and ball joint lessens the jolt and the clunk but does not eliminate it.

Thanks, I was afraid of that when the mechanic said everything looked good and did not charge me. The only time I was ever disappointed about not being charged by a mechanic!

All hail the Murano!
