Is this a common Max sound?

Hey Petzuk,
I have a 5th Gen , whether it makes a difference or not, i'm not sure..cause it sounds like a similar sound you're experiencing. Check this thread.. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=292857
I posted a reply as well. I've had something similar with the knocking sound. But seeing you're a 2k4.. i find it odd you have that type of sound on a new car. What's the dealer say?

Maxima0002,
Thanks for the link to the 5th gen. related problem. It contains some good tips.
I haven't been back to the dealer. I plan to poke around underneath to see if I can spot something.
It sounds like steering rack backlash to me. I'll post an update when I get it resolved.

the more information we have the better. Glad we can all help each other out when needed.
yes, definitely update us. I'll give you another link for this post in the I30/I35 forums. Seems like we have a '98 & 2k2 I30/I35 with the same/similar problem. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=292857
Take care..
