Sound of something loose on driver side...

I have had a rattling noise up front since the day I got the car, best heard at about 10 mph,
Took the tech for a ride, and he heard it too.

Said it sounds like a strut.
Oddly enough, they found a leaking passenger side strut at inspection a month ago.
I think whatever is rattling took the strut out.

Shouldn't have a leaking strut at $8000 miles.

I asked the service department to check with Nissan to see what this has been for other people, because I have read lots of other stories on here about people with this rattling noise, and would rather not have my car all taken apart looking for something that SOMEBODY already knows about.

Apparently, Nissan has never heard of such a problem.

I think I'll live with it until someone DOES hear about it, and knows what to fix without everything on my car piling up on the service floor.

Anybody have this with a successful diagnosis?
