My 06 makes a clunk sound when I first leave my driveway. I have heard it was the ABS doing a self check. Doesnt do it any other time.

I have a slight vibration at low speeds. I am going to have tires rotated and balanced first and see if that cures it.

had my tires rotated and balanced. I still have a slight rumbling sound/feel at low speeds...did the bypass 20k miles ago..did an ATF drain and fill about 1000 miles ago. fluids all still good. have got under truck and tried to move ujoints, but they seem tight.

will the u joints cause vibrations at low speeds? 20-30 mph?

I have heard that sound also. I get the ABS kind of sound when I leave my driveway in the morning.

Hi Guys,

I have an update for you.

The clunk sound was the rear bearing and also while it was on the hoist, they mentioned that is has cross cantamination and they will be replacing the Tranny and the Rad.

I asked them if the tranny is rebuilt, they said no. It is coming from Nissan Directly and it will be a RE and RE.

So happy !!!!

118000 KM on it.
