    Can you wobble it from top, to bottom. If so, it may need the wheel bearing adjusted.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Oldmate,

    Mine did it from new too, and it drives normally ....

    I didn't believe it but a friend asked if he could check mine against his, as when he had a wheel alignment done, they picked up this top to bottom movement saying his car needed huge repairs.

    Checked mine and it was the same, with an amount of movement and a clunk to go with it.

    He proceeded on his trip as it was, and went from Melbourne to the Kimberley and back - so it can't be too bad.

    Get Nissan to check it at the next service if you are really worried.

    well i had Nissan do the 20,000k service the other day and they couldn't find the problem. they said it has aftermarket suspension its probably to do with it
    so i took it to Arb and they said the spring is rubbing on the tapered seat and could fix it by putting 15mm spacers on. i took it to another mechanic for him to look
    at it and guess what the wheel bearings are loose on both front wheels what the f#ck how did Nissan not find this problem
