I replaced two struts and both motor mounts...my car has always and i guess will continue to clank on terrible roads. Plus if looking for a smooth ride maxima isnt the best car on the market built for comfort

if its a bad ride, then it probably your shocks/struts. If its making noises, it could be a number of other things.

yea its just a bad ride no clanks or metal hitting, its just when i go over bumps or pot holes nothing gets absorbed and feels like the car is taking hits from under the wheel well. thanks for the help, where can i get nice affordable shocks and struts?
