Hey guys...its me...again =) Car is busted. Started a few weeks ago, hearing a strange humming that resonated throughout the cabin. It seemd to come from the front passenger side. Fast foreward to last week. The howling gets louder, im thinking the culprit is a bad wheel bearing, or improper mounting/balancing of my Bridgestone So-3's. Jack up the car, i grab the top of my wheel and bottom by the spokes, and i have 3/8" of play when i shake the wheel. The whole wheel/rotor assembly moves. As i move the wheel i can see the brake rotor banging & rubbing against the caliper. Great. So:

1. Broken/worn/damaged wheel bearing, i think.
2. Called Dave B. (phone number on my speed dial) Part is 54 dollars.
3. Im planning to remove the assembly myself and according to Turbomax i need to bring it to a shop to have the bearings removed and pressed in.

Now, im not sure if the only thing i need to order is the 54 dollar part (wheel bearing). Do i need anything else?

Oh btw. im at 60k on my 2k2.

 

larry
my left front wheel bearing went out at 40k
i think you need something else, i forgot the name though, b/c when nissan fixed mine the tech told me there are 2 pieces that he ordered.
they charged around $500 total

 

stupid POS.

 

There was a thread about this a week or two ago. Mine went out also at 32K. Warranty covered it though.

 

larry, since you are an expert on the MAF, what is the story, i heard that if you need the whole thing its really expensive, but you can just replace a part of it or the sensor inside of the MAF? is that right? and how have you gone through 5 already? pm me so i don't f$#k up this thread (afterthought)

 

*bump* i'll pm you shortly.
