Looks like I need to replace it. Is it a part that normally goes? This sucks cause if that thing gets louder or just completely falls off, I got a big problem on my hands. This car is turning into a damn nightmare. It used to be fine for 5 years with parts only sometimes going. Now the past 2, it feels like one after another and I take care of it and don't beat on it.

I just wonder how hard this job is going to be if I can't get to it without needing to lift the engine........

 

You don't need to lift the engine only remove wheel and plastic cover. They do go bad occasionally. I have a used one for sale if you need it.

 

how much?

 

how many miles does ur maxima have now? looks like u had it for quite some time now.

 

you should get rid of your car.

 

im wondering how much miles his car got, if its 250k-300k+ thats probably the only reason why hes repairing things.


but if the exterior/interior is in great condition it is very hard for the owner to get rid of it.

 

Pm sent. How many miles do you have? Id keep it. I'm at 188k roughly and going strong.

 

since 2006 lol... but still... Just cause it has 240k miles on it... doesn't mean one thing has to go after another. I can't afford anything else. I am so broke

 

dam 240k miles, that explains it.. lol if ya fix things, it'll last u another 250k miles.. thats the challenge when hitting to these miles.

 

Once you replace everything you have a brands new car again. I'm almost to that point. I'm in so deep I couldn't sell it without losing my *** 3x over. Ah the joys of keeping a car you love alive.

 

thats the point lol, keep it man, the repairs may be tough to go through, but once its done and all replaced. it will stop eventually

and besides new cars are $400 a month to pay.. plus other things like i heard new cars for an oil change is $100 a pop... crazy huh? with these maximas, they're $30.

keep it, u wont regret it

i have a 96 white pearl maxima with 129k miles, yea i know not alot of miles, only had it since october 2012, not much repairs, only a few. like battery change.. etc very minor stuff, and plan to keep it for a while (hopeing for another 10 years)since its low mileage, im still working on it since its my project car. it does not need much to make it look better(bought it looking complete stock). past owner was a senior owner and didn't drive it much. but did maintenance and stuff
