When I hit certain bumps, I'll hear a tick or click sound near driver side rear tire. When I push up and down on the rear end on that side, it makes the click or tick sound when I push up and down on the car.

Hi Jason, since it does it while the vehicle isn't moving and does it when it is being bounced, it is most likely related to something with the suspension.

There is a voluntary lower suspension link replacement offered by Nissan that is related to a rattling or knocking nose. See pic 1 below.

I attached the voluntary replacement information in pics 2 and 3.

I can't be sure if this is what you are hearing, but I have a feeling it is.

I would contact a dealer about this. It is being done at no charge.

Let me know.

Joe
