Quick fix for front end a-arm clunk?
So when Im going slow, like idling or rolling out of the driveway, i have a clunk coming from the front suspension when i turn the wheel a certain way.
I know theres a TSB, and a DIY fix that have you take the front strut brace off and remove the shock to be able to get at the nut on the upper arm and give it a half turn or whatever to make it stop clunking...
but has anyone found a tool that you can fit in there without taking apart the front end or having to take it to the dealer?

I thought I had the clunk, but it was a bad sway bar endlink. I would check those first.
ayite.. i'll pop the wheel off and give her hell. the night i did the oil change i tried to loosen the lugs and ended up tearing the lug key because the tire jockeys torqued em too much. I just went back to get em to loosen and re-torque to spec, so i'll have to get in there and give it a shot this week.
I just got my car back from Nissan. I have the same problem and sent it in to have the endlinks replaced... but it still makes that noise. I should probably try and diagnose this issue before it gets worse. I should keep the .9G turns to a minimum
