I have had a poping nose for the longest time and I remember it all started when I replaced the front lower control arms, I loosened the cross member bolts and put a rubber spacer in between to test for a resolution to another problem, when in fact I created a new problem. If those bolts are not torqued to factory spec which is 155ft lbs. then you will experience the issue I had when turning the steering wheel and misdiagnose the entire suspension in the process. Just to save someone else the torment and money I have spent. The repair cost me $0 all i did was set my torque wrench to 160ft lbs. (because of my suspension lift, normally it is 155ft lbs.) and tighten them suckers down, no jack required just a 21mm socket and a torque wrench.

Hello Benjamin,
Does the popping noise come from underneath the driver left foot? 20-30 Mph is what I have experience the issue. It started occasionally and now it does it every single day. Just this morning while backing out to the street the sound kicked in but that was about 3 Mph... other than that the sound is in the 20-30 Mph range.
You can FEEL the popping underneath the left foot. I see yours was a suspension torque issue but was looking for a comparison.
Have never looked underneath the pathfinder but was just looking to dig some info before getting into it this week with the oil changes. Let me know if you used jack stands to free the suspension or if a ramp is fine.
