Hello,i need help ,,,,,,i have a 97 maxima with 138,,I started the car when this high humming noise started,,,, I always warm up for @ least 5 minutes i was thinking hey its getting old its normal, the noise lows down when the car is warm, but then i noticed that when i turn the steering right or left,,,,wheel it brings up the humming sound back up specially when i will do a complete u turn, now i got worried,
what happened wasa few days(5) after> iheard a loud bang!!!! sounds like hitting a curb,or atire explossion im like scared,,,but the car still drives?? few days after another bang??? now, when i start the car the noise is still there, but more pronounced now when turning,, i read a nissan manual , could it be a cv joint?differential gear noise<,,,,also when i pressed the gas peddal i can feel rough course sand feel ," like pressing the brake peddal feel when the brakes are worn"grindy kinda,, thats what i feel ...is it struts ?I would really appreciate any information .. thank you

 

Hi i went to the shop and they looked@ it for free, it was the>>>>front struts cost $400 front w/ parts, and the noise was from the steering wheel, needs to be filled with fluid and the " loud" noisewas from the rack and pinion guy said i need a new one its leaking fluid cost in repairs $700 ,,,big spending
