| 2010 nissan sentra. consumer writes in regards to vehicle engine noises. *smd the consumer stated while backing up or turning to the right, there was a noise coming from the rear side of the vehicle. the dealer replaced both front strut bearings and the right mount on 02/07/12/. even after the parts were replaced, there was still a knocking noise coming from the same place occasionally. also, when the ignition was turned on and the vehicle reached 25 mph, the consumer heard a buzzing sound for a few seconds. the consumer believed it was coming from the lower part of the engine. | |||

| I don't know if this is a one-time,only-thing, but felt i wanted to mention it. my mother drives a 2010 nissan sentra, built about 2/10 it has never been serviced by the dealer except for 'included' oil and filter changes, as part of the new car 'sell' i took the front left wheel off, to rotate the tires and, since i have replaced control arms, and cv axles myself in the past, looked around. the 32 mm spindle nut was loose enough to turn by hand, the original cotter-pin (painted black while the car was built) was original-properly intact. i consulted my technical manual and it said that this 32 mm spindle nut is usually torqued to 92 foot-pounds-not finger tight. in fairness as i write this-to leave no stone unturned-and to the manufacturers defense-the car did hit a curb on that side-and the tire blew-it was replaced by etd tire service in nj. but that cotter pin is original-never removed. so a socket could not have been put on it to loosen it from the original torque setting. unless the shock of the tire impact jarred it loose? knocked the wheel bearing and loosened the spindle nut? either way-i am glad i spotted this. i wonder if this torque specification is adequate? 92 foot lbs. ## vin failed ## 2010 nissan sentra sr ## *tr | |||

| The back end can slide around a corner easily, also will also come off the ground going over bumps or railroad tracks. this has occurred even while traveling below speed limit, on a clean dry road. | |||
