    Rattle over bumps and when I turn, motor mounts?

    Ok the title might throw some people off, I’ve been looking for this noise since June, a rattle and pop over bumps and turns. I have replaced everything in the front end besides my rack and tie rod ends. I know that they are ok. I found a way to replicate it by shaking the truck back and forth...

    Misfire around 2k rpm intermittent

    2005 Xterra with 205k miles, I have a slight misfire under light load at around 2k-2,300rpm. It is not all the time and won’t throw a code! I had this same problem earlier this summer so I changed my spark plugs and it went away until now. What do you guys think it is? This thing won’t give me a...

    Rattle under acceleration after 1500rpm

    I hear this rattle noise from under my Xterra between 1600 and 3000rpms, super weird, I can’t find a loose shield on the exhaust, I thought it was u joints so I spent a few hours replacing them and the noise is still here! Maybe I’m skipping something on the exhaust? I had a shop say it’s trans...
