A very common issue with the Nissan E-NV200 (or Evalia) is a clicking or cracking or clunking noise from the front wheels on acceleration, when turning or slowing down. In this video, I give an example of the noise and show you how to fix it yourself, saving a lot of money.
This issue also affects many other Nissan models, not just the ones based on the NV200. This includes the Nissan Leaf, Juke, Pathfinder, Cube, GT-R, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, Versa and many more.
These vans are also the Nissan NV200, Nissan Evalia, Mitsubishi Delica D:3, Mitsubishi Delica Van, Chevrolet City Express, e-Wolf Delta 2 Shuttle, Ashok Leyland Stile, Dynamo Taxi.
This was recorded in December 2024.
