Everytime i go over liek 30mph i get a humming noise from my wheels. Is that normal?

sounds like a bad bearing. Have a shop check it out or try to wiggle the wheel with the car jacked up and see if there's any play. Maximas are infamous for wheel bearings going bad. I replaced one of them a couple months ago.

make sure none of the balencing (sp?) weights on your rims have fallen off. take it to a tire place and get them balenced. just one more posibility.

Which wheels, is it just the back?

at frist it only came from the back but now i think its comign from the front n i also notices my suspension sucks when i hit pot holes i hear and feel them more.....No performace tires just the stock tires for the 17" rims

I agree with Irish, but it could be the tires. I am having the same issue, but I havent had a chance to check it out. Wheel Bearing are odd , noises could come and go but once the start to go they should be replaced. If the car is on a lift, to check the bearing, grab the tire at 12 and 6 o'clock and shake back and forth, if there is play it is the bearing. Otherwise rebalance the tires. if the tires are old another possiblity is tread wear.

I have a humming in my left front tire after an accident and the Nissan Body shop said its the wheel bearing.

Nissan's wheel bearings are notoriously crappy...

I have the same problem with my HTR+'s. I've checked my wheel bearings and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm gonna get an alignment and get the wheels balanced to see if that fixes anything.

its the wheel bearing.
i had exactly the same issue as you ...went through all the things i could think about .. re balanced the wheels, thought it was the tires.. i waited till i changed them the noise was still there.
went to teh shop ....it was bad wheel bearing in my front right side and back right side.


before you go crazy ... just change the wheel bearings

WHY DOES NISSAN MAKE SUCH CRAPPY PART?

the front can be a little more costly. I would not simply get new wheel bearings as a matter of deduction. Do what the other guys said and shale the tire. I just replaced a bad one but the noise and vibration is still there. Sounds like rubbing metal and it sounds like it is coming from the front. I am frustrated also because I just channged a bad one out and I may have to do another one!. The rears are a DIYer but I believe the fronts you need to press in with a hydrolic press

everytime i hit a pot hole it sound like the wheel is wiggleing but verticaly not horizontally could that be my struts/shocks ?

I am having the same problem and I was wondering what the approximate cost would be to replace a bearing.

Recently I've noticed progressivly sloppy handling, but no vibration. Initially I thought it was from the 4 blizzaks I put on. While changing my oil filter I realized the the right front wheel would freely move back and forth up and down. I thought I had bad bearings. Took the wheel off and the freakn axle nut was almost all the way unthreaded to the cotter pin. (why doesnt Nissan use castle nuts!) Any way I torque the nut and now I have the same humming noise. only 30k
