i think this would be approprate place for 07-08 z owner. tonight i installed drilled and slotted rotors all around and new pads and i noticed my rear wheel wiggled lug nuts not lossed yet my friend cheacked the wheel hub and the bearing is smoked this car just hit 20k 2 days ago so cheak your wheel bearing's. sorry about the bad spelling it was a long day did 5 other brake jobs and my car was last on the list and we couldent use are tools case it was so late

 

mine are fine, 47k of non-abusive highway driving

 

Wheels that did on bearing are fine with my brake pads and rotors that were slotted on the hub

 

don't feel bad my 08 has 12k miles and i just had to replace my tie rod ends. dealership said my car sits to low.

 

called today i hate riverhead nissan they are such *******s there i told them what it needed and the guy is a stright **** its so hard to keep your cool and not beat there faces in.

 

I had a rear hub bearing go in the first 5k miles on my 2008 NISMO. I took the mechanic on the interstate at 90mph, yanked the wheel just a little and the *** end almost stepped out. The mechanic said "Holy ****, that should not happen. Please slow down". lol

This was before it hit the track so abuse doesn't have much to do with it.

 

well she has been stepping out for a while been happing since i came back from vaction i just thought i had to relearn how to drive her adter not driving for 15 days then i thought it needed an allignment and i just kept putting it off cause money issues then yesterday i started doing my brakes and notice the rear wheel had play lots and lots and lots of play im talking almost 2 inches its falling out so ive been taking it slow keeping it under 70 and now i feel its pulling out from the rear and i thought it was the front the whole time my friend was like you dident hear a humming comming from it how could i the exhaust drone is so loud and a the plastic creeks and all the road noise i think the only way i would hear it id if i found a nice frsh paved road sat in the trunk with my ear to the floor got up to speed put it in nuetral and coast lol. on a side note riverhead nissan can lick my *****

 

You could check to see if the hub nut is tight. That's the nut with the lock pin through it you see as soon as you take the wheel off. The center cap of the wheel covers the uglyness of this nut.

That didn't work for mine. Take it in before you wreck the car and hurt yourself and whatever passenger may be in the car when it happens.

 

My LR bearing went bad at 12k the axle nut was loose but by the time I noticed it was already to late. They had to replace the bearing and hub. All under warranty of course.

 

axle nut was not lose i pretty much wasted 3 hours off my life this morning waiting for them to tell me what i already knew and they order the parts hub assembly wheel bearing and the grease lol they wont have it till friday.the lady was like they took a look at it and saw it had some play i was like some play 2 inches isant some play some play is a cm or 2

 

the the scumbags that were trying to fix the car at riverhead automall broke it even more and i cant get a rental car cause im not old engouh but i own this car myself and my name is on the title i find this rediculos

 

Mine LR went bad as well a about 25k. I've babied this car and it mostly highway driven. I got it covered under warranty.

 

still pissed that they dident even call to tell me they broke my car i only found out when i called to see when i could pick it up

 

I had the same issue as gamermodz and nismoz. I have a 07 redline nismo and @ 7000 miles the left rear wheel bearing and hub were smoked. I work at a ford dealership and was putting my exhaust and when i put my car in the air my wheel was almost falling off lol.

 

yea i was putting on new brakes and leaned on the wheel while it was off the ground and i almost fell over it moved so much lol i loved the part when the dealer was like thx for waitng almost 3 hours for us to jack up ur car and and varify everything you told us we ordered the parts should be here in 2 days 2 days for parts wtf and shey also told me a lil play lol a lil play iant 2 inches. now that shes fixed she corners like a dream and the back end comes out so easy and more predictable also got a new axle cause my axle nut was seizes aprently lol total bs

 

...... so I just clicked in this thread (just bc I was bored) and I have been thinking the road was un-even or something..... I'm going to check my bearings out tomorrow. The only thing is my car is lowered 1", and has an spc camber kit with the toe bolt. will they still cover mine if it is the bearing.

 

just tell them thtas how they sold it to u lol

 

^^ hah I wish I could.....I bought it new....

 

Interesting thread! Today leaving work and merging on the highway I went wide open throttle through 1st and 2nd and the car felt like the rear end was just wondering to the right while under load but it doesnt do it under normal driving? I have 11k on the car and im thinking my wheel bearings are now bad.

 

Base model?
