has anyone ever heard of knocking from the front left suspension, only when turning to the right. And if you get under the truck and look it is obvious where the suspension has been hitting and causing a mark on the back of the front left tire.
Thanks!!
thanks

Good Luck!
Has anyone actually done this and can assist I would appreciate it.
By the way I also have the knock in the engine at about 2000 rpm. Wonder if this might have something to do with the bad milage.
It is a truck that a true truck lover can appreciate.
The brake caliper, passenger front, seized up the other day. I called NAPA, and they had to order it, but only 1 day to deliver. The guy said quick ship time indicates a common problem (lots of people order calipers for this vehicle).
Also, I have had a slow coolant leak for a couple of months, and I should really get it tested. Could just be a hose, but could be the water pump.
Otherwise, no problems. Don't expect a lot of power (I don't have the supercharger), but better than a lot of other light trucks.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

I do not want to remove thie engine to do this, so am thinking of removing the manual transmission and going in thru the underside of the vehicle.
Are there any tips or tricks that anyone can pass on or any problems that I may come across that can be avoided.
Appreciate any advice.
Also, I haven't worked on a car in nearly 20 years (used to race and service my own Renault Gordini including stripping the motor after every race) so was wondering if anyone knew roughly how many hours this job is estimated to take?
Thanks in advance

Showed the service department manager the doc and he found a TSB on the item and was able to make th e repair. If you have the 2000 rpm engine knock download the doc and take it to Nissan.
I have been unable to find a part number for this, anyone know the part number?? Or another solution in replacing this part??
Thanks in advance,

Please help!!
Frontier 4cylinder (2.4ltr). About 6 months ago my
service enginge soon light came on directly after my
engine hit a rough idle. A couple of weeks went by,
than I took it to a Mechanic. He put it on his machine
and read a emissions problem. He told me that my catalitic
convertor was clogged. Nissan has a 80,000 mile warranty
on their catalitic convertor. And with all luck I had
81,100 miles on the truck at the time. So I took matters
in my own hands and I thought it would be a quick fix.
The light still shines bright. I had my mechanic friend
clear its memmory. After 1 day of driving the service
engine soon light came back on. I've been driving it
this way for about 6 months now. And it's progressively
getting worse. Its simptoms are: rought idle, poor gas
milage, slugish take off. Other than that this truck is
a keeper. Everything else is machanically sound.
I read that your truck was needing a knock sensor???
what is that, and can I repair it myself???
And maybe I can fix my problem by process of elimantion.
please respond
thanks,

I first start it up I can hear a vibration in the front
of the engine. I have finally found the problem. My
hood vibrates. I can push down on it and it quits.
Easy fix.
What ever happened to yours? Was it just the knock sensor or was it more than that?
Other then that the truck is awesome, I have 140K on it, never has needed any serious work, and is still rattle free after 140K. It does look like junk because I haven't washed in in 2 years but their is nothing like a dependable truck that is paid for. I just learned to live with the 'funky chicken' episodes during wet weather, it clears up fairly quick and it doesn't bother me at all. The service engine light stays on for a couple of days and then eventually goes away. I figure it isn't hurting things much because I still get almost 20 mpg and it burns no oil. It is a 4x4 King Cab 4 cylinder.
Thanks
I have a 1993 Nissan Pickup 2.4L 5 speed. Whenever I am driving in either 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear, I hear a knocking sound coming from the transmission, but in 4th gear it disappears and the truck sounds excellent, and then in 5th gear, the knocking comes back, but just barely. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? also, i am aware that the clutch is about dead, which i plan on replacing in the near future... do you think the clutch failing could be playing a role in the knocking? could i be doing damage to the truck by driving it?
thanks
Anyone else have an opinion on this?
