Default Clicking Noise on hard turn/hard break

I have started getting a single click when i turn hard left or right, usually slowly into a parking space... is that the CV joint(s)?

Also noticed it when i had to break hard on the way home today (from like 90-40mph hard) it made a single click....

ack!

Try this:

With the top down, and window down, car off. Stand by the driver side door, put your palm on the top of the door (metal) just above the door handle, and lightly push down. If there is any play in the door, you will hear a single "click". If that doesn't do it, do the same thing, but push on the door like you are closing it (even though it is already closed), and you may get the same sound.

This was happening to me as well, and the dealer is adjusting the latch and the door since it was not sealing tightly, and when the chasis flexed, it caused that "click"

Ok, the dealer just fixed it!

It was the two front upper link bolts as mentioned in NTB03-88

Ironically this note says it only applies to 2003 and 2004 models built on or before 7/23/03.

Obviously that is crap as my car is two months old and built THIS year!!!

Ah well, hopefully Nissan will update this NTB!!!

Thanks for everyones replies!!
