Then exactly what was the point of your thread? If you did not care because you new it could be replaced, the whole episode is not "a big deal", so why make anyone aware?

I find it hard to follow your logic.

This is the entire point..To find out if anyone else has had any issues with thier wheel bearings,but I guess you already "new" that.

Agreed.. Someone could have the same problem with "their" bearings.

Did it make any noises? What about vibrations?

I had mine left rear wheel bearing changed under warranty @ 40k miles. I didn't notice a noise, but noticed a little wobble on tined concrete pavement. Thought it was just the summer tires gripping since they were pretty well worn out. I noticed the bad bearing when I replaced the rear brakes.

AutoX, track days and daily driving. I wonder if wider tires are causing the problem.

No tell tale signs except excess play when I jacked the car up and checked the wheel. It wasn't horrible, but enough to know it would only get worse.

Wow... has no one ever had a wheel bearing fail on them? You're all acting like this is a huge problem.

Crazy how covetted the nismo is to some people...anyway. you guys should look into murano hubs/bearings. I have heard they hold up a bit better and bolt right in. I would search it out.

I remember this thread from about three years ago.

I'm pretty sure Ex2cinaZ has been off the site for a coupld of years too.

My front left bearing started making noise at 30K. I replaced both the front hubs, so I wouldn't have to worry.
