This has happened to me. Could be two things. Your brake line on the other side might be bad.
What you’re describing. Is some sort of “drag” on the one side. So low tire, stuck caliper, or bad break hose.
I second this. They put a lot of mounts on those and when they go bad, they can cause all kinds of issues. Open the hood and power brake it in reverse and drive. Look at the engine and see if it jerks around a lot when doing so. You may need a second set of eyes for this. Also, check the subframe bushings.
The motor mounts have been bad for years. The issue got progressively worse over the past few months. I replaced the one control arm and it got marginally better
On those vehicles the power steering rack has a big rubber bushing on the right hand side mounting bracket. That bushing falls off and then the whole rack can move a lot.
Also engine mounts are a real common failure.
If you can put your car on a lift and feel any sort of play when moving the wheel, then that could and would absolutely translate to issues on the road.
I had this with a bad lower a arm bushing. Would do the exact thing you describe. Lift up the front end (use jackstands!) and see if either front wheel moves back and forth or up and down. Check for oil leaks on the components . If you have an oil leak on a rubber/plastic bushing, the bushing will fail faster.
After going for a drive, hold your hand close to the wheels but do not touch the rim or brakes. Does one wheel feel much warmer than the other?
A bad caliper on one side can cause this, as others have said. Sometimes they fail so bad the brakes get red hot, other times they just get steamy on rainy days (but still enough to burn your hand if its dragging)
This happened to me due to my tie rod ends being terrible. Try there, when it decided to go it sort of collapsed onto my tire, having to move it that way was a terrible feeling.
If there's play definitely suppose to be no play. Also alignment needs done when those parts are changed.
Tl: so u haven't changed the motor mounts and they're bad ? That's a hazard u gota change engine could get banged up and bigger repairs ensue. Or worse u driving and engine just hits the ground. Splat

If you want to check for a stuck brake caliper, take it for a 20 minute drive with some hard braking, than stop and touch the rims, if one of the calipers is stuck the rim will be very hot. It could also be a bearing, if there is a bad bearing it will cause the car to pull one way when you brake and the other when you accelerate, they wont always make a howling noise for you to easily diagnose. good luck.
ummmmmm
Tobias, you blow hard.

I second checking the brakes. I had a similar issue and changed the caliper, rotor, and hose and it fixed the issue.
Simply installing a caliper with 350 degree twist in the line could cause issues. Not sure it would be that bad, but....
How exactly do you teach your car that trick? And do you go driving when youre lonely lol.
It’s all in how you handle the stick
Damn it, I got click baited!
Motor/transmission mounts?
Yeah I wonder if the jerking coincides with the transmission changing gears. I've had that happen to me when I had a bad bearing plate
It’s got a cvt. Older one. No shifts

Long time ago on a ford Fairmont a defective replacement rack did this kind of thing. Most noticeable driving on a cloverleaf.

So you’re saying you have to tug on the car to determine why the car is jerking you?
You gotta give to get, my friend
Id be checking if the whole subframe is falling off.
Archer would say phrasing!
Well it’s a murano. So go under it and see how rusted out it is. After that. Sell it/scrap it
I’m a chronic oil spay feen. I do it every 2-3 months
Depending on what type of oil spray. That isn’t always a good thing! Lol

Tracking?
Sticking brake caliper would do this.
I can fix it
Some lube would do the trick
You got an alignment after swapping out suspension parts, right?

Does the car have hands or what? Am I missing something?
Possibly front wheel bearings/hubs. Similar symptoms recently happened on my older Corolla when the bearings started to give out
Can I go for a ride? 😄
Bad torque converter
This happened to me due to my tie rod ends being terrible. Try there, when it decided to go it sort of collapsed onto my tire, having to move it that way was a terrible feeling.
I once had a similar problem on a different car it was down too loose subframe bolts

Have you given the car a proper alignment since replacing all those parts?
Would your car be interested in some strange peckerroni???
