For the last week or so my front end has been popping when making a sharp turn. I figured it was just my Calmini idler arm furthering it's slow and painful death. But to my surprise, I found this just now while I was out on a smoke break at work:


That's the nut on the LCA! It's almost completely backed off. Every so often I'll get under the truck with a set of wrenches and make sure nothing is loose, but I guess I missed this one. I'm going to assume this is where the popping is coming from.

Looks like tonight I get to get back under the truck and torque everything back down again.

Dang, good thing you caught that!

Now tighten the nut behind the wheel!
Lator...

Nissan tighten.

At first I was thinking "I don't remember posting the problem I'm having with my steering wheel..."

Then "Ooooooooh. What a dick."

I never had issues with the lower control arm bolts. Anyways I would install some lock tight.

check those front torsion bar mount point nuts and bolts while you're under there...
