I was driving home and when i turn right into my street a dreaded err. sqeeak noise came from my right front tire area. anyone got any ideas, it didnt do it when i went over bumps, it only did it when i turned sharp right and not left.

ideas?

 

It did it this morning, When I Was turning Right, and it wasnt when i was going over bumps, any ideas, i did trim my bumpstops when i lowered the car.

 

The wheel bearing could be worn. I had mine replaced almost a year ago. Because I didn't pay much attention to the intermitant nosie the wheel hub also wore out. Jack the wheel up and try moving it. If there is a little play, then the wheel bearing could be worn. Either way take care of it ASAP.

 

either PS belt or you need to grease your turn stops...

wheel bearings dont squeak...

 

Its only when I turn right, it vibrates the steering wheel when i am turning right, its not tire rubbing on the body, i know what that sounds like, its more like a thump thump thump than a sweek.

 

Your CV joint may be going on the right side.

 

oh, then n/m about the bearings. a bearing failure is usually described as a 'growling' noise.

either that or your tires are making noise. you could rotate the tires and see if that fixes the issue.

 

tried rotating tires, no work. its more like a rawr rawr rawr, noise, only when turning right, on the front right, it seems to be getting a little louder, might be cv joint and boot,

if so how much that cost to get fixed.

 

It will come down to parts and labor. I remember a posting on inexpensive Nissan parts, but I don't know where I bookmarked the thing. Here is another site.

CV Boot kit: $38 approx. - based on list pricing from above.
Labor: $99 per hour -based on my hub assembly replacement.

At this point Im really guessing what the dealership would charge. Unless you find a shop that can do it for cheap if you provide the parts.

Any other guesses if I'm way off the mark?

 

dunno if it would be the CV boot. But it might be. Get your wheel bearings checked out. Good luck!

 

a wheel bearing will get louder when you turn one way, loading the bearing, and get quieter when you unload it.


rawr rawr rawr is growling, yea?

 

Changing out a cv joint w/boot is cheaper than replacing just the boot. Don't ask me how that works, it just does. CV joints are easy. Get a chilton's and go step by step and you should be done no more than an hour.

 

just want to add to this....i had the dreaded noise when i had the steering wheel turned all the way. the noise was the cap to my steering bump. it's a bolt that sticks out by your caliper that prevents you from overturning. it bangs against metal and if you're pushing against it and go up a hill or speedbump, it'll make a nasty noise. mine had fallen off. cost me $1.15 at the dealer for the cap and noise go byebye.

just a guess. it could be cheaper than you think.
