Default Suspension problem

I'm getting a kinda pop noise whenever I go over a bump. It only makes the noise when the suspension extends but not when it compresses. Doesn't make noises when I'm parked and turning the wheels or turning corners. Not sure if it would be tierods, wheel hubs, wheel bearings, A-arm, steering rack, or something to do with the shocks or springs. I have stock suspension on my nismo 350z.

Exactly^^. If you haven't at least put your car up in on jackstands, pulled the wheels and LOOKED at the suspension on all four corners- that has to be the first step!

Drive to Nissan dealership, inform the service advisor of your troubles. Give him keys...

Hours later go back hand them a bunch of money.

Presto good as new.
