yeah all of those steering control items usually have to be entirely replaced at some point.
Upper control arms, Sway bar bushings, Lower control arms OR the bushings, caster arms, Ball Joints, Inner and outer tie rods BTW I changed all of these parts minus the lower control arms and I get popping noise still.
and the remaining parts I haven't changed were deemed "good"
On another note, my steering feels kind of tight
Don't want to send you running and screaming in the other direction, but just some heads up.
Also what part of NY are you?

Yup...with the Maxima, I was tucking 18"s and 20"s without rolling or shaving anything. Didn't know anything about offsets and suspension bushings til I came here. You can't just pop in a Can air Filter with this car, you'll get a CEL. You HAVE TO change ball joints Asap, everybody will tell u the same.There's other dumb crap about this car you'll learn asap. The Lex is a good whip though, we get to enjoy the telescopic steering wheel and nice leather interior. If you want to checkout my car locally, let me know.

lol..not suspension problems more so ball joints, ****ty/sloppy steering, creaks, cracks, snaps, etc.
If you bought the car to drive like a bmw -- sell it now. IF you bought it to look nice and you dont care about noises and fixing things endlessly (non motor wise) then you're in the right park.
