Ah, I was reading too hastily. The factory torque spec from the 2017 service manual is 130 NM / 96 lb-ft.

The torque spec is listed in the TSB: 121 N•m (12.3 kg-m, 89 ft-lb)

Another similar situation here with a 2017. My wife called me from the DC Beltway yesterday morning, saying she got a "Motor power is limited" dash warning. Fortunately it went away by the time the car slowed to 45 mph so she didn't end up on the side of the road. It didn't happen initially when...

This was an upgrade to the LED bar style DRLs that I'd installed per this thread. The LEDs were starting to fail and I wasn't thrilled with the visibility from the get-go. My solution was "angel eye" LED fog lights from AliExpress installed into factory fog light brackets. I think they work...

I'll echo a similar experience with the Goodyears versus the Michelins: Better dry grip Less steering feedback Better wet grip Quieter (though it's hard to remember back to when the car was new) I don't track efficiency closely, so no comment there. We didn't have any snow to speak of this...

I put on a set of 4 of the ElectricDrive tires yesterday. My local tire shop was able to get them next day for $216/ea (just the tire). I also measured the full tread depth at 11/32". After a short drive, my observations compared to the original Michelins that were worn to 4/32": Better ride...

Wow, tires have shot up in price this year. I was planning to replace the original Michelins with the same, but they are $250/tire at TireRack! (The H-rated Bolt tire of the same size is $244.). Maybe I'll go with the ElectricDrives. I was satisfied with the quietness of the OE tires, but am...

Wish I'd seen this earlier! I made one from a new Nissan cap. I bled the brakes with it yesterday and it's leak-free at 15 psi with fluid in the power bleeder. The reservoir cap was $13 (I was ordering other items, so shipping was negligible). I used a glue gun. A quick web search indicated that...

I took the risk and bought a used Altima spare on eBay, knowing that it will be difficult to fit around my 2" Torklift Ecohitch. It should arrive in the next week or so. I removed the undertray and took some photos per TonyWilliams' now somewhat dated request. Hitch looking rearward toward LH...

I don't think it's a safety issue as long as it's not interfering with steering the car. You might enjoy and get some value out of the ride quality improvement by replacing the strut assemblies if you're going to keep it for several more years. I've borrowed spring compressors from AutoZone...

Ultimately I only replaced the strut mounts (KYB; because I had them) and added the spacers. I was tempted to buy the complete KYB strut assembly (from Rock Auto) because they are easy to install. With your year and miles that seems like a better call. Just be aware that the KYB strut bearing...

The images in the 1st post are dead links. @UBUYGAS or others — do you have photos to share? I'd like to install an Altima spare in the dead space hidden by the plastic cover under the load floor. I have a 2" Ecohitch and also need to assess compatibility.

My car had both the axle clicking noise and a different click coming from the brake pads shifting in the calipers. The dealer performed the axle nut TSB and we haven't heard that click since. They also "lubricated" the brakes, and it went away for a while, but has returned. Point being, while...

Update on my 2017 SV: AHr: 63.36 SOH: 79.72% Hx: 54.90% odo=30,102 QC=51 L1/L2=1647 (inflated by previously using the charge timer) Post from Sep 2020 https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=23606&p=589842#p589842 AHr: 69.93 SOH: 87.99% Hx: 67.44% odo=25,044 QC=47 L1/L2=1381...

That was true for us until I installed the spacers... from within a couple months of new! What year is your car? Your post reminded me to open up the KYB bearings that were in my car for about a month. Similar design to the OEM part. The KYB bearings made much more noise than the stockers, so...

I've evaluated everything else in the front suspension. Ball joints, control arms (bushings), tie rod ends, sway bar links, etc. Ironically the KYB strut bearings making more regular noise than the Nissan parts confirmed that the noise was definitely strut bearings. Yeah, I have a couple...

Old bearing right side: This is was replaced under warranty Aug 2020. The plastic housing had slight distortion, but the bearing runs smoothly when installed with the spacer. I took it through a full revolution. Old bearing left side: Same deal, but this one is original to the car. Didn't take...

UPDATE: I'm declaring victory. — Original Post — The noises were worse than ever in the three weeks since I installed new KYB strut mounts and bearings. So I took the struts out again today and put in the spacers that are part of TSB https://www.tsbsearch.com/Nissan/NTB14-088 I decided to...

It happens in both directions, but more frequently — if memory serves — with clockwise steering input. Last year I was able to replicate the sound with the car on stands and a floor jack under the control arm to load the spring. (Sounds heard in the first few sec of first clip.) Unfortunately...

Thanks, that confirms my suspicion. The bearings (one orig, the other is 1 year old) that came out of the car are not gouged, but they are slightly distorted (i.e., don't sit flat). They also bind in a couple spots, though I realize that they don't go through a full rotation when installed. I...
