Now at 108k, have to replace front-right for second time. Also have to replace front-left for first time.

Please note your experiences with this.

 

My miles are around the same as yours and I repleaced one right front due to clicking noise around turns... noise is still there. I need a new pass side axle. It was pretty EZ to do, got mine done in like 45 min bymyself with a press. I also poped in a new hub at the same time. Did you put in new hubs ? Problem with our bearings is the hub actually spins inside the bearing and if the bearing goes, it scores up the hub part that slides inside the wheel bearings. Most shops don't realize this and they just install bearings. New hub is over 100 bux from Nissan, comes with new wheel studs also.

 

Yeah, had both of mine done after an accident at 76000 miles.

 

replaced passanger side front. at 23,700.
going top replace the drivers side in spring.

 

I need to replace both front, do you guys replace with oem bearing or any suggestion ?

Cheers

What are the other indications that you need to replace a bearing?

When I'm on the highway goin over 60mph or so, the car doesn't wobble (so I don't believe it's the balance), but I hear a very fast rhythmic noise coming from one of the wheels. It's hard to describe, it's just a noise it makes everytime it goes around.

 

it will sound like a whirrling noise which gets faster and higher pitched with more speed. Make sure its not one of your wheels, I did a wheel bearing on my car for nothing, to find out my one wheel was bent and was causing a nasty noise from the left rear of the car- and it sounded like it was coming out of the front of the car. Stock wheels don't bend too ez but **** happens, I have a set of pretty stout Enkei RPO1s and they where bent from the time I got them- free from a trade in at work. 40K miles on them and I thought it was always wheel bearings.... dumb me.

 

i replaced front passenger wheel bearing @ around 45k. nissan covered it under powertrain but ive got extended warranty when the driver side decides to die out.

 

@ 84,500Kms, original WB's are still on.

 

I had to have both front bearings replaced at 57,000 miles. Nissan was great about it, and replaced them under warranty. The car shuddered at almost any speed, especially when applying light throttle, or when coasting.
