SQUEKING in the front end

i have on 08 frontier and it when i go over the smallest cracks or bumps i get a squeking sound from the front end, but it doesn't sound like the are shocks creeking.... and its annoying. For some reason I think that it is coming from the bumper or just behind the bumper.
Anybody else have that same annoying sound?
Does anyone know what it could be?

Grease up the hood latch really good. That's what mine was.

could also be the wheelwell lining. you could tighten up the screws or take off the lining, spray some lube and put it back.

another problem has been the rubber bump stops under the front of the hood.

Check your hood, could be the rubber things in the inside of the hood, check them. Try goin to a parking lot, drive around, and while driving around slowly pop the hood from the inside of the the truck. If it stops then just put some grease on the rubber.Dont do this on the highway or you'll probably lose your hood.
I had this squeak as well, i did the grease and it stopped.

well i wont advise putting her husband in one. lol

but mine is more prone to "ratteling/squeeking" when hot. i tried bending and hose clamps and i think the dealer is gonna have to cure it. they said they'd replace lead pipes with sheilds on them and i hated to do that to them. but it is a new truck. so im gonna let nissan buy that one. expecially before the exhaust mods happen. : )

My squeek was the rubber hood stops. Dealer found it by shutting the drivers door. No squeek with hood open. Squeeked with the hood down. Put a little grease on the stop and all was well.
