Noise in Front End by soundzone

I have a 2003 Maxima GLE which I bought used with 15,000 miles. I love the car but have one problem. There is a small popping noise when I go over bumps. The problem has never gotten any worse or better. The CV joints and boots seem to be ok. Could this be a shock absorber problem? It doesn't seem to effect anything, just annoying as the car is super quiet.

04 Maxima pricing by p100

I saw a new 04 SE Maxima advertised for $ 24,999. I assume that this must be a base model without options. Even so, this appears to be a good price considering that there is no rebate on the vehicle and the MSRP is about $ 28K even on the base SE model. However, I am discouraged by the quality control issues with the 04 models. Maybe it is a good idea to wait a year until they work out the bugs out of this vehicle.

I have a 99 max se and had the #2 coil replaced when the engine mis-fired. Cost $250 at a local mechanic. no problems since, I would hate to replace them all at once and the mechanic said it would be rare that would happen.

#2 engine mis-fire.... TSB discussion by htn123

I would like to hear yall opinions about TSB.
Here is my situation:
I had a 88 Max. During the first 5 years of driving, I would smell the gas in the cabin on and off. Checked edmunds and there was a TSB out for the fuel valve, but because it did not happened all the time, I just ignored it (not too smart, I know). Then one day it got so bad I brought it in. Found out that the TSB has turned into a recall. Got it fixed for free after 5years.
 
I got another 2K Max. Now there is a TSB for the ignition coils. The engine knocked all the time. The problem occurs all the time, so I called Nissan and want them to pay for the fix and took it in the dealer. They said my car has 59K on it so too bad, so sad.... I had to pay for the fix.
 
My point is, if they have a TSB out for a problem, it is for a specific problem. Be it design, manufacture, fabrication problem it's still a problem.
They don't just put a TSB out for regular problem do they? so when an TSB is out, there is a big problem that enough people has experienced. They need to fix the problem and pay for it.
Poor smuck like me had to pay for it until enough people complained about it then they will do a recall and fix for free.
So as far as I am concerned Nissan did a poor job of dealing with customer satisfaction.
BTW, my wife and I have bought 4 Nissan sofar, 88 max, 2K max, 89 Stanza, 03 Murano. And I cosigned my friends to a Nissan Quest and Sentra. After I told the Nissan CSR about all these cars. They still said, too bad, so sad....
At this time, I don't think the next car will be a Nissan at all.
