Sounds a lot like a bad wheel bearing. Lift the wheel off the ground, and push/pull on the top. If there's play in it, then the bearing is bad. It'll sound like a metal on metal, grinding noise because the brakes and spray shield and whatnot will be spinning out of alignment. The sound will come an...

Have you checked the wheel bearings? They often make rubbing, grinding, roaring sounds. They can be constant or intermediate. Temperature plays a lot of part with them and also sometimes a bump can cause them to start making noise when they are already on there last leg. I would check them out or ju...

Have you checked your Ujoints? There should be zero play on the differential
Output shafts. Check axles aswell if you are noticing play, maybe the cv joints are going back and need to be replaced. Differential would usually be the strongest component in the chain.

What's needed to fit 275/70/18 (33.2")?

I have read and read and can find numerous times where the 285/65/18 has been mounted with little rubbing, which can be eliminated by the melt mod. Would the melt mod be sufficient to run the 275/70/18 tire? I understand it's .5" larger then the 285/65/18 but also .5" thinner which might h...

Re: 2008 OEM All Season Floor Mats

Do one of the floor hooks fit in one of the two holes in the 2009+ mats or do you have to remove the floor hook? I removed the hook. Just one bolt to remove. It does NOT line up with the floor mat holes. I've been waiting to start a project where I use the original hook but grind of the original st...

Thank you Kopeck! The part looks like an exact replica to OEM. Even the welds look near identical to OEM. Keep us updated on the alignment and the ride. I may order two of these to replace mine. (I have a ballpoint just starting to leak some grease on the passenger side, so it's just a matter of tim...

Did you end up getting it in? I would suggest just cutting the bolt. That's what I was referencing in an earlier post in which they are often seized in those bushings. As for the axle it should just go back in, just make sure the splines are lined up. Rotate until it slides in. If you did get it all...

Kopeck, did you receive your parts? I'd love to see a pic. I think I am going to change my LCA's soon and I'm debating the moog replacements or buying OEM Nissan. The Nissan part is more then twice the cost so I'd love to stay with the moogs if you have a nice experience with them. I have used Moog ...

Yes, it's just a pinch bolt at the ball joint. Once you remove the bolt, you can use a pry bar to pop it out or try a Big hammer. Sometimes they can be stubborn but it will come out eventually. Make sure when you put everything back together give it a nice coat of anti-seize. All bolts and ball join...

you shouldn't have to remove the axle. I was in there not too long ago doing a wheel bearing and I belive you have enough room to manipulate the control arm out without too much trouble. Only problem you might run into (depends on your location and of they salt the roads) is the bolts. Many people h...
