i think i may have a bad wheel bearing. i was wondering if anyone has had any bearing issues and where they may have gotten it fixed. i know if i go to the dealership it'll be really expensive so any other help would be appreciated thx!

 

do it yourself. not too involved, unless its a rear bearing. those are definitely more involved but not impossible to do by yourself. I've done all of mine already. if it's a rear bearing, you'll have to have a shop press out the old bearing and press the new one in. pep boys did it for me for $30 each bearing.

 

Just replaced my front ones which wasn't too hard to do.

What makes you think they are bad?

 

weird sound when car decelerates (lil vibrations). kinda like metal grinding but it only does it sometimes and when i turn the steering wheel kinda feels funny like somethings loose.

 

i just read the DIY and it did look pretty simple. i think i may do it. Where do u recommend buying the new pieces?

 

I would run OEM bearing, and order from Scott at Fontana Nissan. www.nissanraceshop.com

 

Let me know if you still need it done, I can do it this weekend on Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. PM me and I'll let you know the labor cost if you're interested

 

Before you spend the money and time doing the wheel bearing, why not check to see if that's the problem? It could be a bad bushing, too.

Jack the car up so there's no weight on the wheel, and grab the tire at the 12 o' clock and 6 o' clock positions. Try to rock the wheel in/out. If there's play, it's the wheel bearing. If not, then it's something else.

 

will do that, thanks for the heads up.

 

The front wheels don't care if you're accelerating or decelerating (assuming brakes not applied). You sure it's not your brakes or wheel balance??

 

im pretty sure it not brakes or the balance

 

Tried this and no play but for some reason i think its something in the wheels.

 

updates?
